From a centuries old recipe, luscious diced aubergines rest in a marinade of extravirgin olive oil and Sicilian aromatic herbs. So versatile they are perfect on their own as a tasty starter with crusty bread; as part of a mixed platter of antipasti; or a staunch ally of other grilled vegetables as well as practically any meat dish.

Aubergines are a central feature of the Mediterrranean Diet and their finest definition can be found in Sicily. Many recipes have evolved over time and this particularly rustic version (originating from peasants who were so masterful at creating delicious dishes from leftover crops) has been popular for centuries.

Fresh local aubergines are immediately peeled, diced and steam-cooked until perfectly tender. The preparation and combination of ingredients in the marinade eliminates all the bitterness often associated with aubergines, leaving the full natural taste, just as it should be!

It is ready to use straight from the jar, or can be heated up for a few minutes and served warm.

Aubergines are great for a healthy lifestyle. They are rich in antioxidants, calcium, phosphorous, potassium and Vitamins A and C.
