Napoleon Almond Stuffed Olives
What it is
Napoleon Almond Stuffed Olives are a savory snack or appetizer. These are whole green olives that have been pitted and then filled with a whole blanched almond. The combination offers a satisfying crunch from the almond and the briny, slightly firm texture of the olive. They are typically packed in a brine solution to preserve their freshness and flavor. This product is ready to eat straight from the container.

To serve, simply drain the olives from their brine. They are perfect for adding to a charcuterie board alongside cheeses, cured meats, and crackers.

Unlike plain olives, these are enhanced with the addition of a whole almond. This creates a unique dual texture experience, with the crisp almond contrasting with the tender olive. The almond also adds a subtle nutty flavor that complements the olive's brininess.
