Weis Quality Stuffed Manzanilla Olives
What it is
These are whole, pitted Manzanilla olives from Spain that have been carefully stuffed with pimiento. The pimiento adds a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a contrasting color to the briny, firm texture of the olive. They are preserved in a brine solution, typically water, salt, and sometimes a touch of acid, to maintain their freshness and characteristic taste. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy a classic Spanish delicacy.
How people cook with it
Stuffed olives are a versatile addition to many dishes and can be enjoyed in various ways.

These stuffed olives are ready to eat straight from the jar. They are commonly used as a garnish for martinis and other cocktails, adding a salty bite and visual appeal. In the kitchen, they can be chopped and added to pasta salads, potato salads, or mixed into spreads and dips for an extra layer of flavor. They also make a delightful addition to charcuterie boards, pairing well with various cheeses and cured meats. Their distinct flavor can elevate the taste of many savory dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain Manzanilla olives, the addition of pimiento creates a softer texture within the olive and introduces a subtle sweetness. This stuffing also provides a visual contrast, making the olives more appealing in certain preparations. The pimiento filling is generally mild and does not overpower the natural briny taste of the olive itself.
Who it is for
Home cooks and entertainers who enjoy adding classic flavors and garnishes to their meals and beverages.
How to keep the rest
After opening, it is important to keep the remaining olives submerged in their brine and refrigerate the jar. This helps to preserve their quality and prevent spoilage. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed between uses. They will typically remain fresh for several weeks when stored properly in the refrigerator.
