Description

Calling all garlic lovers, these Garlic-Stuffed Olives are perfect for you! These are colossal Greek green olives, hand stuffed with steamed garlic, in a light brine with extra-virgin olive oil. These make for a robust, savory addition to your next wine and cheese pairing.

Tasting

Garlic-stuffed olives offer a salty brininess, a flavoursome kick of garlic, and a rich, umami characteristic. They provide contrasting textures of crunchy garlic and firm olives, with some herbaceous, earthy undernotes.

Pairing

Soft cheeses, such as Brie, provide a creamy texture and mild flavour, pairing well with the savoriness of these olives. Tangy cheeses like goat cheeses and feta, pair well with the salty and garlic flavors. Although it may be a bold, intimidating pairing, these olives could pair well with blue cheeses. Balance out the savory flavours with honey, grapes, figs, or dried fruits. Consider accentuating the nutty, earthy flavours with smoked almonds or walnuts. Pairing these olives with cured meats creates a complex, delicious bite!

With wines, consider acidic, bodied red wines, such as Tuscan or Bordeaux reds. The Chianti Sangiovese or the Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon are delightful examples of structured red wines that balance the brininess for a robust pairing. This could also pair nicely with fruity or spicy red wines, such as Grenache, Syrah, or Zinfandel grapes, as well as an earthy Cabernet Franc.
White wines with crisp acidity and citrus flavours would balance salt and garlic flavours, such as classic Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, or an Italian Vermentino from Sardinia, Liguria, or Piedmont. Provence Rosé offers a similar crisp acidity and lightly fruity flavour which could make for a delightful pairing.
