Muffuletta (Italian Olive Salad)

Description

For sandwich lovers, there are plenty of variations for the “mile-high” substantial, healthy appetite variety. (We’re not referring to dainty-finger sandwiches here.) There are Dagwoods, and Subs, Hoagies and Po Boys, all with abundant filling combinations.But the one that absolutely stands out for us is none other than the Muffuletta. Very popular in New Orleans, it has a special ingredient that we find particularly appealing. That ingredient is the Muffuletta garnish, which is basically an Italian olive salad. Usually, Muffulettas begin with a round loaf of crusty bread, cut horizontally. The fillings are Provolone cheese, salami, mortadella and any combo of other lunchmeats and cheeses that your taste dictates. But before these are added, the bread on both halves is spread with the Muffuletta salad. Onions may be added as well as roasted red peppers. The sandwich is then put together, wrapped in plastic-wrap, pressed and refrigerated for several hours so the flavors can mellow. When ready to serve, cut into wedges like a pie, and enjoy.Our Pagliacci brand Muffuletta is loaded with pitted green olives and Kalamata olives along with many of the vegetables found in Giardiniera , such as cauliflower, peppers, carrots and pepperoncini. Olive oil, vinegar and spices are added in just the right proportions to make this a treat every time you eat.Each jar of Pagliacci Muffuletta contains 16 fl. oz. or 454gm.When you order this item you will receive one case of 12 - 16oz jars of Pagliacci Muffuletta.This product is specially ordered from our supplier.
