FESTIVE OLIVE CURING WORKSHOP: Olive Scarciati - Perth Italian Festival

A 1-hour, hands-on dive into the art of traditional Sicilian olive curing with Concetta Sultan, co-author of the acclaimed Cugini in Cucina

Join us at the Festive Olive Curing Series II Workshop at the Perth Italian Festival, a FREE cultural celebration!

This year, we are focusing on Olive Scarciati, a beautiful, time-honoured Sicilian olive tradition, that is fresh, aromatic, and ready to eat in just over a week. Unlike other curing methods that can take up to a year to be ready, these olives are lightly crushed, deseeded, and mixed with fresh ingredients, an absolute treat for the senses!

📅 Date: Saturday, 11th April 2026
📍 Location: Langley Park, 115 Terrace Rd, Perth, WA
⏰ Time: 1-hour hands-on workshop

Take home your own jar of Olive Scarciati, experience a centuries-old tradition, and discover why this is Concetta’s personal favourite style of olive curing.
