Peschiole are small peaches harvested while still unripe, before the pit has formed, and traditionally pickled in a sweet-and-sour vinegar brine. This gives them their distinctive flavour. These crunchy little fruits resemble large olives in appearance, but taste more like pickled cucumbers (gherkins).
Peschiole are perfect as an aperitif and pair beautifully with cheese, cured meats or fondue when served whole. Sliced, they add a distinctive touch to fish dishes, salads and crostini.
Our Peschiole (Pesche acerbe in agrodolce) come from the Campania region of southern Italy and are produced exclusively by Azienda Agricola Verticelli.
