Bijan Pickled Olives (Large) 650g

Whole green olives are a classic and flavorful ingredient known for their firm texture, vibrant green colour, and tangy, slightly bitter taste. Harvested before they fully ripen, green olives are carefully cured and preserved in a brine solution of water, salt, and sometimes vinegar or herbs to enhance their natural flavour and maintain their crispness. Their rich, briny taste is balanced with a mild bitterness and a hint of fruity undertones, creating a complex and satisfying flavour profile. Whole green olives are highly versatile and can be enjoyed on their own as a snack or paired with a variety of dishes. They are a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, often served as part of an antipasto platter or mezze spread alongside cheeses, cured meats, and roasted vegetables. Their firm texture holds up well in salads, pasta dishes, and grain bowls, while their briny flavour adds depth to sauces, tapenades, and marinades. Whole green olives are also a popular garnish for cocktails, especially in martinis, where their savoury taste enhances the drink’s overall profile. Packed with natural antioxidants and healthy fats, whole green olives are not only delicious but also a nutritious addition to any meal
