Sliced Green Olives with Pimentos in Brine

Canned Goods

Description

Sliced green olives with pimentos in brine are a flavorful and convenient ingredient commonly used in a variety of dishes. These olives are harvested at their peak, then pitted and sliced for ease of use, making them perfect for tossing into salads, pasta, or grain bowls. The brine they are packed in not only preserves their fresh, tangy taste but also infuses them with a touch of saltiness that enhances their natural flavor. The addition of pimentos—a sweet, mild red pepper—provides a subtle pop of color and a delicate hint of sweetness that balances the olive’s briny notes. Whether scattered over pizzas, stirred into tapenades, or used as a garnish for appetizers, sliced green olives with pimentos add a vibrant Mediterranean flair and a burst of savory flavor to a wide range of recipes.

Availability

Sliced green olives with pimentos in brine are typically found in the condiments or pickles section of most grocery stores. Look for an aisle that stocks jarred and canned goods like pickles, capers, and other olives. These sliced green olives are usually packaged in clear glass jars or metal cans, often situated near other varieties of olives such as black or Kalamata olives. In some stores, you may also find them displayed alongside Mediterranean or international food items. If you have trouble locating them, check for an “olive bar” in the deli section, although sliced varieties are more commonly found pre-packaged on the shelves. The brine helps preserve the olives and keeps them flavorful, making them a great addition to salads, pasta dishes, or as a topping for pizzas. If you’re unsure, a store associate can quickly point you in the right direction.
