Mustapha's Moroccan Provencal Marinated Green Olives Feature

  • PICHOLINE OLIVES IN A MARINADE FROM THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
  • FIRM FLESHED MARINATED IN ONIONS AND HERBS DE PROVENCE
  • GREAT SERVED WITH ROASTED CHICKEN
  • PERFECT FOR A MID DAY SNACK
  • USE IN GIFT BASKET OR HOUSE WARMING GIFT
It would be quite normal to find Picholines olives flavored with Herbes de Provence in almost any market in the South of France, but you can also find them in just about every souk in Morocco. Mustapha starts with Picholine Marocaine and adds onion, herbs de Provence, lemon and bay leaf to create an amazingly flavorful snack. These meaty olives are perfectly seasoned and a great flavoring for roasts and stews. Over the last two millennia the indigenous Berber peoples have endured invasion and conquest, each culture that came left its mark on the land, its people, their cuisine. A wealth of culinary creativity and the amazing quality of the bounty of ingredients from the everyday to the exotic make Morocco a culinary mecca. Introduced and re-introduced over the centuries, olive cultivation is central to Moroccan cuisine and culture. One can understand then why the Moroccans are masters of curing, marinating and infusing olives, and why they eat olives with just about every meal, even breakfast. Olives were most likely first planted in ancient times, and each succeeding culture that invaded and stayed planted or replanted. Today the predominant variety of olive planted in Morocco is the Picholine Marocaine, the cousin to the French Picholine Languedoc. Given the milder and more consistent climate in Morocco the Picholine Marocaine grows into a superior table olive. The proof of this proposition is that France imports tons and tons of these olives to eat themselves and to export as a 'Product of France' - yes most 'French' Picholines that are sold in this country are in fact grown in Morocco. Besides the Picholine there are plantings of such Italian varieties as the Ascolano and Gaeta as well as the Spanish Sevillano. The best olives are said to come from the foot of the Atlas Mountains, and that's where Mustapha gets his.

As if it weren't enough that our friends at Novia del Sol stuffed their flavor and texture-filled Manzanilla olives with real piquillo peppers, now they've gone and stuffed them with Cabrales, one of the most flavorful blue cheeses in the world. Cabrales cheese is produced only in the village of the same name and three villages of the Peñamellera Alta township, located in region of Asturias northern Spain. Cabrales ranks right up there with Roquefort and Gorgonzola in flavor. Firm,"extra fancy" grade of Manzanilla olives from the south of Spain are turned into little blue cheese bombs that are great for snacking. Of course, it's the martini crowd that has turned blue-cheese stuffed olives into the rage, but most pale in comparison to these gems.

Cracked Olives with Garlic & Herb Marinade by La Tienda

Cracked Olives with Garlic & Herb Marinade by La Tienda Reviews

Cracked Olives with Garlic & Herb Marinade by La Tienda Feature

  • Special Verdial olives - meaty and flavorful
  • In a marinade of herb, bay leaf, and garlic
  • Just like from a market in Spain
  • 7.3oz/200g drained wt
(en español abajo) The olives in this jar are lightly cracked in order to take full advantage of the herb, bay leaf, and garlic marinade. The result perfectly captures the flavors of Old Sevilla, down to the crunchy garlic clove, which is mild as mild can be. La Tienda is the only place you can purchase these olives outside of Spain. How we came to have these remarkable olives is another example of Spanish generosity. We were enjoying tapas one evening in Sevilla with the owner of a noted olive company. We were savoring tangy, firm cracked olives - one after another. We wondered out loud: "Oh, if we could ever get these in America." He was surprised to hear of the limited varieties of olives available in the United States. We had hardly returned home when a package arrived from our new friend, Antonio. He had sent a custom product from a recipe he had developed - succulent cracked Verdial olives marinated with cloves of garlic, oregano, sea salt and a bay leaf or two. They tasted just like the ones we'd had that night, or the ones I would see in barrels at the local municipal markets! Great when paired with aged Manchego cheese and sherry or beer. --------- ¡Las aceitunas de este tarro son las mejores que hemos probado nunca! Carnosas y verdes, las aceitunas están ligeramente machacadas para aprovechar al máximo el marinado de hierbas, laurel y marinado de ajo. El resultado captura perfectamente los sabores de la vieja Sevilla, hasta el crujiente diente de ajo, que es de lo mas suave posible. Tienda es el único sitio donde los puede comprar fuera de España. Cómo hemos llegado a tener estas buenísimas aceitunas es otro ejemplo de la generosidad española. Dejen que se lo explique. Estaba tomando tapas una tarde en Sevilla con el propietario de una destacada empresa aceitunera. Un colega y yo estábamos saboreando aceitunas machacadas cremosas y ácidas, una tras otra. Dije !Oh, si sólo pudiéramos conseguirlas en América!. Se sorprendió al enterarse

Jumbo Gordal Queen Olives with Pits by La Tienda Feature

  • 17.7oz/500g - about 25
  • The Beefsteak of Olives from Andalucia
You might call Jumbo Gordals the "beefsteak" of olives. Gordal means plump, sometimes in America they are called "Queen" or "Colossal" and that is exactly what they are -- about as large as we have ever seen. When you bite into each one there is lots of olive to savor. Definitely an olive lover's olive! Our Ybarra Collection of Olives is produced by the eminent Hijos de Ybarra company. Originally founded in 1842 by the first Count of Ybarra, Don José María de Ybarra y Gutierrez de Coviedes, it remains in the family's hands six generations later. Originally drawn from his estate in the Aljarife region of southeast Sevilla province. Aljarife manzanilla table olives there are noted for their plumpness, size and flavor. Ybarra is known throughout Spain as the standard against which all other commercial olives are measured.
