If you leave the package open, the olivette will quickly dry out, losing their characteristic soft center. I recommend always keeping them in an airtight container at room temperature (not in the refrigerator). Being extremely sugary, the ideal pairing is all about contrast: serve them with a very bitter Sicilian espresso or, as an after-dinner treat, with a bitter herbal liqueur made from wild Etna herbs. The toasted and bitter notes will cleanse the palate, enhancing the persistent almond flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 0.9em; font-style: italic; color: #555;\"\u003e- Luca Mauro Consoli\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cimg alt=\"Luca Mauro Consoli - Etnaly Taste Ambassador\" style=\"width: 100px; height: 100px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 50%; border: 2px solid #d32f2f;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/5740\/2773\/files\/Unknown_24ea4312-3c02-48bd-9a27-47c45aed7760.jpg?v=1774945906\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCOMPLETE THE EXPERIENCE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e🛒 \u003cstrong\u003eSicilian Roasted Coffee:\u003c\/strong\u003e To counteract the extreme sweetness of the almond paste with warm, toasted notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e🛒 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.etnaly-shop.com\/products\/amaro-iddu\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtisanal Etna Herbal Liqueur:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e An after-dinner digestive that perfectly balances the sugar content of the dessert.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK FAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre they only eaten in February?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough they are the undisputed symbol of February 5th (the Feast of Saint Agatha in Catania), their goodness and almond base make them a perfect teatime or after-dinner sweet all year round.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is their texture?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are soft and melt-in-the-mouth on the inside, with the classic moist texture of artisanal marzipan, free of any hard outer shell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT YOU RECEIVE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📦 A 300g pack of artisanal Olivette di Sant'Agata, ready to bring an authentic piece of Catanese culture to your table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIMPORTANT INFORMATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌡️ \u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources.
