B&G Spanish Style Stuffed Manzanilla Olives
What it is
These are whole green olives that have been pitted and then stuffed with a pimento paste. The olives are packed in a brine solution, which gives them their characteristic salty and slightly briny flavor. Manzanilla olives are known for their firm texture and mild, pleasant taste. The pimento stuffing adds a subtle sweetness and a touch of color to the olives. They are ready to eat straight from the jar.
