Spanish Arbequina olives by José Lou

Description

The name "Aceitunas de color cambiante" points to a special stage of harvesting: the olives are picked exactly when they change colour from green to pinkish-chestnut, which gives them an inimitable gastronomic character and taste Arbequina olives are valued all over the world for their tender, mild and buttery taste. They have no sharp bitterness or excessive acidity — only delicate fruity-nutty notes, a light saltiness and juicy flesh that melts in the mouth What to pair them with (perfect matches) Cheeses: serve them with traditional Spanish Manchego, aged Parmesan, soft goat cheese or tender burrata Appetisers: they perfectly complement jamón, prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes, capers and artichokes on an antipasti board Bread: they go excellently with fresh crusty baguette, ciabatta and cold-pressed olive oil Drinks: a wonderful accompaniment to dry white and rosé wines (for example, Albariño or Verdejo), a classic martini or a glass of chilled cava.
