Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
RIPE BLACK OLIVES + ROSÉ
The mild and buttery flavors of ripe black olives compliment the balance of fruit and acidity in Rosé.
KALAMATA + PINOT NOIR
Kalamata olives are earthy and bold, and their sweet brininess pairs perfectly with Pinot Noir.
CASTELVETRANO + PINOT GRIGIO
The buttery goodness of Castelvetrano Olives pairs beautifully with crisp white wines like Pinot Grigio.
PIMENTO-STUFFED OLIVES + ZINFANDEL
A spicy Zinfandel offsets the vegetal flavor of Pimento Stuffed Olives and pairs perfectly.
And when you just can’t decide…CHAMPAGNE + EVERY OLIVE is the perfect pairing. The effervescence cleanses the palate and allows you to truly taste the beauty of the olive.
