Star Olives - Pimiento-Stuffed 7 oz

Pimento-stuffed Manzanilla olives are a classic, briny garnish that elevates martinis and other savory cocktails with a touch of Spanish charm. These small, pale-green olives originate from the Seville region and are famed for their delicate flavor, crisp bite, and subtle almond-like finish. Each olive is carefully stuffed with a bright red pimiento, creating a pleasing contrast in color and a sweet, peppery note that complements spirits without overpowering them. Their balanced salinity and smooth texture make them a versatile addition to any cocktail bar, where they can be stirred into a martini, threaded onto a cocktail pick, or served alongside dirty martinis, Gibson-style drinks, and other gin or vodka creations.

Beyond cocktails, pimento-stuffed Manzanilla olives shine on a cheese board, in antipasti platters, or folded into salads for a savory pop. They pair beautifully with dry whites, sparkling wines, and light, citrusy cocktails, providing a savory counterpoint to briny or creamy components. For best results, store them in their brine, refrigerate after opening, and drain lightly before use to control excess moisture in the drink. These olives offer a refined, approachable way to add Mediterranean character to cocktails and appetizers, delivering flavor, color, and a touch of sophistication to any entertaining spread.
