This Italian Muffuletta is bold, savory, and packed with layers of Mediterranean-inspired flavor. The olive salad is the star of the sandwich, combining garlic-stuffed olives, piri-piri olives, roasted peppers, capers, pickled vegetables, Oregano White Balsamic, and Basil Infused Olive Oil into a vibrant, tangy spread. The balsamic adds bright acidity while the basil olive oil contributes fresh herbaceous depth that ties the entire mixture together. Layered with Genoa salami, mortadella, ham, provolone, and mozzarella on crusty Italian bread, every bite delivers a balance of briny, savory, creamy, and herb-forward flavors. It's a hearty sandwich that feels equally at home at picnics, game-day gatherings, casual entertaining, or family meals.

I N G R E D I E N T S :

• 1 cup garlic stuffed gordal olives, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 cup black mission olives, coarsely chopped
• 1/3 cup fire roasted red peppers, drained and coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped pickled cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons drained capers
• 1 tablespoon chopped celery
• 1 tablespoon chopped carrot
• 1/2 cup green piri-piri chili stuffed gordal olives, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup marinated cocktail onions
• 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Oregano White Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/2 cup Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Basil Infused Olive Oil
• 2 (1 pound) loaves crusty Italian bread
• 8 ounces thinly sliced Genoa salami
• 8 ounces thinly sliced cooked ham
• 8 ounces sliced Mortadella
• 8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
• 8 ounces sliced provolone cheese

I N S T R U C T I O N S   F O R  C O N D I M E N T : 

In a medium bowl, combine the two types of gordal olives, black mission olives, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, Oregano White Balsamic, and Basil Infused Olive Oil. Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.

I N S T R U C T I O N S   F O R  S A N D W I C H : 

Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts of olive salad, including oil. Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella, and provolone. Replace 'top half' on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.
