Hand Stuffed Garlic Olives

Hand Stuffed Garlic Olives:

Our Hand stuffed garlic olives flavour is one of the most popular blends in the range. It comprises of a mammoth Halkidiki green pitted olive, stuffed by hand with a sweet pickled garlic clove. We add minced sweet garlic, local rapeseed oil from Bell & Loxton and a splash of lemon juice to this mix to round the flavour out. The olive itself is a Halkidiki Green pitted olive, this a very large, pale green olive with a firm, meaty texture. The olive is grown in Greece, harvested early in the season, pitted and stuffed by hand and then matured in a salty brine. We control the salt levels here in Devon and add the minced garlic, rapeseed oil and lemon juice.
