$3.59Provencal olives are known as the quintessential Mediterranean fruit. Provencal olives come from the Provence region of France, in the southeastern corner of the country, close to the Mediterranean and adjacent to Italy. This region is predominantly rural and every year produces a large harvest of olives, wheat and wine. The olive growing industry thrives in the region because of the warm, dry Mediterranean climate.
The famous Roland brand carries on the tradition of French olives with their delicious products including Provencal Olives with Aromatic Herbs. These are whole olives with pits that have been packed in water, salt and spices. They are the perfect snack especially if you crave an olive herb flavor combination.
Provencal olives have a classic taste and texture so they work well in most situations. For a pre-dinner snack, serve them right out of the jar as an antipasto or arrange them with other snack foods as part of an appetizer tray. For the actual meal, try adding them to tomato sauce for a pasta dish or chop them up and throw them on top of a tasty Mediterranean salad. Finally, use them at cocktail hour: garnish your martini with this olive to give your taste buds some new flavors! |
