Traviesas Olives | Olivias by Tast

The bowl that sorts out the table: Olivias by Tast Traviesas olives

This is not one olive: it is five things. With Olivias by Tast Traviesas olives you open a jar of green and black olives with their stones, baby onions, red pepper and garlic, all dressed together. It is the bowl of mixed pickles you would normally put together from three different jars, sorted in one.

Why a mix works better on the table

An aperitivo lives on contrast. The green olive is firm and slightly bitter, the black one sweeter and more buttery, the baby onion brings acidity, the red pepper sweetness and the garlic depth. Every time you reach in you get something different, and that keeps the interest going far longer than a bowl of just one thing.

And it goes well with tinned seafood

The sharpness of the baby onion and garlic cleans the palate between bites, so it works especially well next to a board of tins: anchovies, mussels in escabeche, cockles or tuna belly (ventresca). It adds colour and variety to the table without masking what sits beside it.

With the stone, and that matters

Olives with their stones keep their texture and flavour better: pitting means opening the flesh, which softens the olive and lets part of the aroma escape. You can tell here, because two olives of different character share the jar and both keep their flesh firm.

An olive house

Olivias by Tast works from Sant Pol de Mar, in Barcelona, and its craft is travelling the Mediterranean in search of varieties, dressings and pickles made with natural ingredients. The olives are cured in brine before being dressed, which is what sets their texture and aroma.

How to serve them

At room temperature, in a bowl, with a small plate for the stones. With a vermouth, a small beer or a fino. Put the jar on the table fifteen minutes before opening the tins and your aperitivo is already under way.
