Olives From Peru

Olives are an integral component of Peruvian cuisine. Botija olives (pronounced bow-tea-hah ‘) are especially abundant with umami – that savory yet tangy taste unrecognized by Westerners.

Cuzco’s markets become overflowing with them between April and July. Their mild taste makes them ideal as an introduction to olives.

Early Life and Education

These olives make an irresistible addition to any salad or appetizer. Low temperature drying keeps them juicy and flavorful while being lightly seasoned with oregano and thyme for extra zest!

These delectable olives are an integral part of Peruvian cuisine and known as Aceitunas Negras or Aceitunas de Botija after their traditional storage container – clay jars.

Olive seeds are packed with essential vitamins A and E, calcium, iron and beautifying oleic acid – an anti-aging monounsaturated fat with numerous health benefits – making them an excellent source of selenium. To enjoy them properly, remove their pits using a nutcracker and consume only the fleshy outside layer (do not chew or swallow the hard shell as this could injure your intestinal wall). Aim to consume three to four seeds weekly.
