Comments Off on Olive Pit Featured Olives of the Week – A Few More Interesting Choices
Taggiasche Ligurian – a ripe, purple olive that hails from Italy. This olive is soft to the touch, and rich with a tart, savory flavor. Grown in Taggia, Italy, this variety was originally brought to that region by the St. Columban monks. It is not one to be missed!
Roasted Red Pepper Stuffed – a firm, green olive stuffed with a delicious roasted red pepper. It may remind you of an old stand by, the pimento stuffed Manzanilla, but this olive will surely surprise you! It’s a large, flavorful olive from Spain that would be delicious in your next Martini. Or, try pairing this olive with Gouda, blue cheese or Manchego, a little crusty bread, and a healthy bunch of grapes and you are set for a delightfully simple, yet tasty, dining experience.
Pitted Picholine – “Oolala!” is what you’ll be saying after your first taste of this olive. Crisp and green, with a rich, nutty taste, it will snap your taste buds to attention as you enjoy the wonderful flavor and texture of this French olive. Picholines are grown in the Gerd region of France, so grab your beret, a baguette and your favorite Brie as you dream of soft, French breezes while enjoying this olive.
