Pitted Green Olives | Olivias by Tast

The olive that doesn't compete: pitted green olives by Olivias by Tast

On a table of canned seafood there is a lot of flavor at play: anchovies, mussels in escabeche, cockles, tuna belly (ventresca). With pitted green olives by Olivias by Tast you put at the center the piece that brings order to the whole instead of fighting with it: an undressed gordal, with virgin olive oil, water and salt. Four ingredients and nothing else.

Why undressed works better on a shared table

An olive with garlic, paprika or chili is excellent on its own, but it leaves its mark on the palate for a while. If the next thing you pick up is an anchovy or some ventresca, much of that flavor is lost. An undressed olive does the opposite: it cleanses the mouth, adds its salty touch and leaves the palate ready for the next bite. It is the one that lets you nibble on everything without one flavor dragging along the other.

The gordal, the largest size

The gordal is the largest olive on the market, with the firmest, meatiest flesh. With no spices to mask it, its own flavor comes through: mild, buttery and with just the right bitterness. And because it is pitted, you can eat it without thinking and without a little dish for the leftovers, which is welcome at an aperitif with friends.

Cured in brine

The olives are cured in brine, which is what sets their texture and aroma. In an undressed olive that process shows twice as much, because there are no spices to disguise a short or poorly done cure. It is the most honest test for an olive, just as "in brine" is for canned seafood.

An olive house

Olivias by Tast works from Sant Pol de Mar, in Barcelona, and its craft is traveling the Mediterranean in search of varieties and production methods using natural ingredients.

How to serve them

At room temperature, in a bowl, next to the open tins. With a vermouth, a small draft beer or a fino. And if there are any left over, they work just as well in a salad or chopped on toast.
