Goya Alcaparrado Manzanilla Olives with Pimientos and Capers
What it is
This is a jar of Spanish-style green olives, specifically Manzanilla olives, that have been stuffed and brined. It includes slivers of pimientos, which are sweet red peppers, and capers, which are the pickled flower buds of a caper bush. The combination offers a complex flavor profile with a salty, slightly briny, and subtly sweet taste. The texture is firm from the olives, with tender bits of pepper and small bursts from the capers.

Their distinct taste makes them a great addition to any savory creation.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused olives to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. Ensure the olives remain submerged in their brine or a fresh brine solution to maintain their quality and flavor. They will typically keep well for several weeks when properly stored.
