Baresana is a prepared table olive
A University of Bari-hosted study describes Baresana olives as Tèrmite di Bitetto fruit harvested at changing ripeness and preserved in brine. This table-olive preparation is distinct from generic green olives and from Ascolana olives. The baker’s focaccia barese recipe explicitly calls for olive baresane in salamoia.
Our suggestion: look for that name and brined form on the label when following this recipe.
