The Olive Pit 101 – “Advanced” Olives

​​If you like bold, salty, and pungent then you will love the Moroccan. This olive is salt cured, which means it’s placed in a vat of salt, making this is one of our saltiest and most intense olives.  

​If you like green olives, try our Sicilian with Herb olive. The Sicilian is a large, meaty olive that is firm and bold in flavor. We then marinate it in a blend of garlic and herb infused oil – the result is this delightfully flavorful and thoroughly entertaining olive.  

​​Lebanon has 2 delicious olives that we carry at The Olive Pit – the Green and Black Lebanese.  These olives are both delicious in their own right. If you like a ripe olive go with the Black, but if you a firmer olive, try the green.  They are both bold and assertive in flavor, which will tantalize your palate. 

​​Another favorite: the Sevillana con Limon. This olive is from Spain and has a deep and complex flavor. The Sevillana con Limon is our only olive that has a hint of curry, offering a beautiful blend of spices and color that will not only excite your taste buds but your tabletop, as well. 

​​One of our favorite olive mixtures is Lou Pistou, from France, which is a blend of ripe and green olives in a delectable wine vinegar and garlic brine. They’re very aromatic, with a strong herbal component. We think the Lou Pistou mix will become one of your favorite blends once you try these tender, rich olives.
