Private Selection Green Olive Focaccia Croutons
What it is

The bread itself is typically soft and airy before being transformed into a crunchy topping. The olive pieces are usually incorporated into the dough or sprinkled on top before baking, infusing the croutons with their characteristic taste and aroma. They offer a savory and satisfying crunch.
