süottaceti

Süottaceti is not a widely attested term in established culinary nomenclature. The spelling appears to be a misspelling or variant of sottaceti, the Italian word for pickled vegetables. In most references, the concept described by süottaceti would correspond to sottaceti.

Sottaceti refers to vegetables preserved in an acidic brine, typically made from vinegar, water, and salt, often with sugar and aromatic herbs. Common vegetables include cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. The produce is cleaned, cut as desired, and packed into sterilized jars, then covered with the brine and sealed. The acidic environment slows spoilage and yields a crisp texture and tangy flavor. The term can also denote the pickle itself—the brine or the finished product.

In Italian cuisine, sottaceti are a traditional antipasto and pantry staple, with regional and seasonal variations. While a vinegar-based approach is standard, some variants use salt-only brines or oil-based preparations, depending on local practices. Properly prepared sottaceti are stored in a cool, dark place and can keep for several weeks to months; after opening, refrigeration helps maintain quality.
