Olives with garlic

Zelected Olives with Garlic – bold flavour from Greece

Zelected Olives with Garlic are a classic delicacy, where juicy, sun-ripened olives meet the aromatic punch of garlic. These olives come from the Greek peninsula of Chalkidiki, known for its large, well-shaped, fleshy olives with a mild, rounded flavour. Here, Greek olive tradition is paired with simple processing that lets the ingredients’ natural character shine through.

Packed with flavour and character

Shortly after harvest, the olives are gently pitted and stuffed with garlic, then packed in jars. This process ensures the olives keep their firm texture and juiciness, while the garlic flavour is allowed to infuse the olive flesh. The result is an intense, full-bodied taste experience, where the lightly salted olive flavour is balanced by garlic’s bold, slightly sharp character.

Perfect for tapas and snacks

Zelected Olives with Garlic are ideal as a snack—on their own or as part of a tapas board. They add depth and character and pair perfectly with cheese, charcuterie, bread, and other small bites. Their bold flavour makes them a natural centrepiece on the table, enjoyed in small bites.

Versatile in hot dishes

Besides being great for tapas and snacks, these olives can be used in a wide range of dishes. They add extra flavour to salads, pasta dishes, and pizza, and also work brilliantly as a side for classic Mediterranean dishes like moussaka and oven-baked vegetables. Use them whole, sliced, or roughly chopped to give your dish a distinct Mediterranean touch.

A Mediterranean vibe for everyday meals

Zelected Olives with Garlic are a great example of how simple ingredients can create big flavour. They bring a touch of the Mediterranean to both everyday meals and more festive occasions, and they’re easy to use when your food needs a quick extra lift.

With their bold flavour, firm texture, and distinct character, Zelected Olives with Garlic are a versatile, flavourful classic for any kitchen that loves Mediterranean food.
