Pickled Green Olives – Pitted 720g (drained 350g)

Green olives are the carefully chosen fermented and cured fruit of the olive tree (Olea Europaea), treated to remove the characteristic bitterness. Rich in healthy fats, vitamin E and other antioxidants, these plump, green olives are pitted mechanically and preserved in brine.
