by Produits Ciao

Hello everyone! Erika, Alessia, and Gabriella here 💫

If you're like us, you love having handy , delicious products in your fridge or pantry, ready to turn a simple meal into a wow moment. And today, we're giving you our best ideas for using the Italian marinades we love, those from Ayo Alimenti and Conserve Conti , available in our store.

You don't have to be a chef to use them — we promise!

🍴 Ayo Alimenti products – Our gourmet tips

🌶️ Peppers stuffed with tuna and pecorino

Flavor explosion alert!
They're perfect as an aperitif or on a charcuterie board. We also love them cut in half on a homemade pizza or in a gourmet sandwich.

🫒 Pitted olives

Classic, but essential! We put them:

  • In a Greek salad

  • In a tomato sauce for pasta

  • As a garnish for homemade focaccia

🥒 Spicy zucchini

They can be added cold to toast with goat cheese or in a wrap. They also make a great accompaniment to a fish dish.

🫘 Seasoned beans

Yes, marinated beans = game changer. Try them in a warm salad with tomatoes, red onions, and a little feta. Or simply alongside a golden grilled cheese!

🍆 Eggplant in oil

A Sicilian classic. We love them:

  • In an Italian sandwich (eggplant + mozzarella + tomato)

  • As an antipasto with crostini

  • Mixed with hot pasta with a drizzle of olive oil

🌿 Conserve Conti products – Simple and tasty

🫒 Green olives stuffed with almonds

An elegant snack to serve with a spritz. We also love them in a cold rice dish or as a decoration on a brunch platter.

🫒 Stuffed green olives Messina style

A little spicier, they're perfect with strong cheeses or on focaccia. We even tried them on a salmon bagel... and wow.

🫒 Sicilian black olives

Intense and tasty, we put them:

  • On a Neapolitan pizza

  • In a Niçoise salad

  • With fresh cheese and crusty bread

👵 Nonna's Olives

A homemade blend marinated with love! Straight from the jar, they're ready to shine in an aperitif or to garnish a tapenade.

🥕 Handmade planter

A jar filled with crunchy and colorful vegetables. Top:

  • As an accompaniment to sandwiches or burgers

  • With a cheese platter

  • In an Italian rice salad

✨ Generic tips for ALL marinades

Not sure where to start? Here are our quick tips:

  • Express Antipasto : Serve 2-3 marinated products in small bowls, add a good bread, and it's ready!

  • Boosted salads : Add some marinated vegetables to a green or pasta salad = more texture and taste.

  • Stylish toast : Cheese spread + a marinated vegetable = fancy lunch in 2 minutes.

  • Cook with oils : The oil in these jars is full of flavor. Don't throw it away! Use it to roast vegetables, dress a salad, or make a vinaigrette.
