It is used in cuisines all around the world due to its versatile nature.
A popular use for anchovies in North America is as a pizza topping.
Anchovies have a characteristically strong flavor, which comes from the curing process: the fish are first salted in brine and then packed in oil or salt.
This tasty fish finds its way into these Roland brand olives, which have been stuffed with a mild anchovy paste. The process starts with medium sized green olives of high quality with no bitter taste. They are pitted and then stuffed with a mild anchovy paste for a unique flavor combination. Pop one in your mouth and you will discover the great balance between the salty olives and the creamy anchovy filling. This is a wonderful snack for all ages because the anchovy taste is subtle enough that even picky children will enjoy this treat!
Use these anchovy stuffed olives any way you enjoy most. Serve them as a simple cocktail snack before dinner (don’t forget the toothpicks). Try adding them to salads for a firm crunch or use as part of an antipasto platter.

Manzanilla olives are Spanish olives that fall into the small to medium size range. They have a rich flavor that is not bitter and they contain antioxidant properties.
Even if you think you don’t like anchovies because they have tasted too strong in the past (on pizza, for example), give these stuffed olives a try. The anchovy flavor is subtle and it won’t overpower your palate. The green olive contrasts with the anchovy for a perfect balance of flavors. No wonder it’s one of Spain’s most popular stuffed olive varieties! For best flavor results, serve this olive chilled. For some sophisticated charm, it’s the perfect addition to hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. And keep in mind, an anchovy stuffed olive is the key ingredient in the Fisherman’s martini!

7 7.76oz
Many words can be used to describe the flavor of a Nicoise olive, some of which include smooth, rich, nutty, mellow, and unique. Some are surprised that such a small, unassuming olive can pack so much flavor. But don’t worry, the flavor is not overpowering so you can cook with these olives, which will add great flavor to many of your favorite recipes.
Use these Nicoise olives in antipastos or as a simple garnish. Add them to a Nicoise salad (which uses different vegetables topped with tuna and anchovy), a puttanesca sauce or various pasta dishes. The flavor of Nicoise olives goes well with seafood making them a wonderful topping for poached fish dishes. The olive also compliments Spanish cuisine including tapas and many types of paella.
For a great cheese pairing, try Parmigiano-Reggiano or aged blue cheese. And for the appropriate wine pairing, combine with a Merlot or a Cabernet Sauvignon.
Picholine Olives: Roland
$4.39
French Picholine Olives from Roland 7.75OZ.
From the delightful Roland Brand, we at Penn Mac bring you Picholine olives from France. The Picholine olive is a rare French import (the trees yield very small crops) that is typically grown in Southern France within the regions of Provence, Cote d’Azur and Languedoc. These French olives are green in color, medium in size and are torpedo shaped, similar to an almond. The olives are full-bodied and have a tart, balanced flavor, which is complimented by floral, fruity notes.
The Roland brand imports this delicacy from France with the pit intact and then packs them in a simple brine along with some delicate spices. With a firm and crisp texture they are not overly salted or heavily spiced. This makes them a great choice for cooking because they won’t alter the consistency of your dish.
These olives are fabulous served cold as part of an appetizer tray, on salads or as a garnish for cocktails (they are classically known as a cocktail olive). For a tasty cheese pairing that your taste buds will appreciate, serve this olive with some aged provolone. It also goes extremely well with fish and other kinds of seafood like salmon. And for a great variation and new flavors, try marinating these Picholine olives in olive oil, garlic and tarragon.
