$9.49“Family owned” companies give products a personalized touch. Mezzetta has been family owned since 1935 and produces wonderful peppers, olives and other specialty foods, all packed in glass. They get all of their produce from California, Italy, Spain, France, and Greece. These particular garlic stuffed olives come from California’s Napa Valley. Napa Valley olives are a specialty because the soil gets so much sun, thereby creating delicious produce.
To start the process off, Mezzetta uses large, Spanish style olives that have a firm texture and a buttery taste. Each colossal green olive is hand filled with a clove of fresh garlic. The garlic comes from family farms in Gilroy, California, the garlic capital of America. As soon as the garlic is harvested, it arrives at Mezzetta to ensure that these stuffed olives are made with the freshest products available. Mezzetta chooses to hand stuff instead of machine stuff because it allows them to inspect both the olive and the garlic for high quality and prevents damage to the olive.
Use these Mezzetta olives for all of your snacking and appetizer purposes! To make some delicious antipasto skewers: skewer these garlic stuffed olives along with some fresh mozzarella (cubed), marinated artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes and pepperoncini. Before serving, drizzle with some olive oil and enjoy! |
