"My Grandfather, Nicolo, the founder of Musco Family Olive Co., brought his olive expertise from Italy to California with the ambition of making a good thing even better. We continue this tradition by offering only those olives with the finest texture and taste. Whether in your favorite recipes or on the tips of your fingers, you will not find a richer olive than ours."
Felix Musco, President Musco Family Olive Co.
Depending on where you live, either Pearls® or Early California® brand are available at your local retailers.
Black Ripe
Musco uses a unique California curing process that removes the bitterness and gives our olives their smooth, savory flavor, provides the right amount of texture, and produces a rich, dark-brown color. Using sea salt rather than iodized salt, this curing process requires more time, effort, and expense, but the results distinguish our Black Ripe Olives from all the others.
Fresh Cured
Naturally great-tasting, Fresh Cured™ Green Ripe Olives are California-grown, hand-picked, then cured immediately after harvesting using only sea salt and water. This time-honored process preserves their natural color variations, retains their firm, juicy texture, and brings out a delicious buttery flavor that makes them a popular choice among consumers.
Spanish Green
What makes our green olives so special? We start by hand-harvesting the olives to ensure quality. We then send them through a pasteurization process that produces an olive that's lower in salt and has the best taste and color of any green olive on the market.
Infusions™ (Formerly Burgundy Olives™)
Musco has patented a process that integrates the perfect balance of ripening, seasoning, and fermentation to add spicy excitement to your favorite olives. Infusions™ create a new flavor experience when added as an appetizer, in salads, sandwiches, vegetable side dishes, breads, pastas and risottos, or as a quick and satisfying snack.
Spicy Ranchero
Using the finest Burgundy Olives™, Spicy Ranchero provides the perfect balance of fresh Jalapeño and cilantro.
Classic Italian
Our Classic Italian variety is infused with red wine vinegar, fresh basil, oregano, yellow onion, and garlic to deliver an authentic yet unique flavor.
Jalapeño
We infuse our Black Ripe Olives with Jalapeño to add a south-of-the-border kick that everyone will love.
