Ceres Organics Organic Green Olives Pitted 315g are Greek green olives in a simple brine of water, sea salt and organic lemon juice. They suit anyone who wants plump, savoury olives ready for a platter, a salad or a quick addition to dinner. The pitted format makes it convenient to portion them out, slice them or chop them for a recipe.
Harvested after maturing under the Mediterranean sun, the olives have the full olive flavour and tangy, briny finish that make them useful in both hot and cold food. Organic green olives make up 51% of the jar. There is no added sugar in the recipe, and the ingredient list keeps the focus on olives, lemon juice, water and salt rather than a heavily seasoned oil marinade.
For an easy lunch, add a handful to a tomato and cucumber salad, fold chopped olives through a grain bowl or pair them with bread and cheese. They also work in pasta, on pizza and alongside roasted vegetables. Try adding them near the end of cooking when you want their flavour to remain distinct. For entertaining, serve a small bowl beside dips and crackers so guests can combine the savoury olives with their preferred accompaniments.
This is the pitted green variety in a 315g jar, a useful detail when comparing it with whole olives or a different olive variety. Choose the pitted format when you plan to use olives within a dish as well as on the side. Certified organic, vegan and a product of Greece. Once opened, refrigerate the jar, ensure the remaining olives stay covered by the brine and consume within 10 days. That opening window is worth planning around if you only serve olives occasionally.
