Bring a little bit of Spain into your Aussie kitchen
Olives can be enjoyed at any time of day. In fact, in the 17th century in Spain, olives were served as a dessert rather than a hors d’oeuvre! Early Romans on the other hand included olives as the first part of a meal which was aimed to stimulate the appetite.
Today, their decorative strength and delicious flavour make olives an essential complement to a glass of sherry, a dry martini or any other dry cocktail. They are excellent served as a pre-dinner snack, an entrée, or as an ingredient in countless cold dishes such as salads, canapés, galantines, and so on. But olives are equally impressive served as part of a hot dish, with turkey, chicken, duck, seafood or veal, as well as many other gastronomic specialties which are popular all around the world.
