One of the most and most flavorful of French olives originate in the region of Gard, the coveted Picholine. Picholine olives are gathered before they are ripe, carefully treated to remove the natural bitter bite, and then rinsed and pickled in brine. They make a classic fresh and pungent snack, and a sophisticated garnish for your martinis. Use these gourmet olives for hors oeuvres, to top pizzas, or pair with duck or fish. Imported from France.
