La Vialla Organic Olives with Orange Zest
What it is
These are whole, pitted organic olives from Italy, preserved in a light brine with the addition of fresh orange zest. The olives are carefully selected and processed to maintain their natural flavor and texture. The orange zest provides a subtle citrus aroma and a bright, slightly tangy counterpoint to the briny olives. They are a simple yet elegant addition to any meal.
