Pickled Green Olives – Whole 720g (drained 400g)

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 whole olives are preserved in brine.
