Olives with Ascolano are a gastronomic specialty from the Ascoli Piceno region, in Italy. They are made with green olives in brine, stuffed with a mixture of minced and fried meats. They are often accompanied by meat, fish, fried vegetables or other fried dishes, known as "fritto misto". The recipe dates back to the 19th century, around 1800, when cooks serving noble families had access to a variety of meats due to increased taxes on local peasants.
