What makes Mezzetta’s garlic-stuffed olives different?

Mezzetta selects Halkidiki olives for size and texture, then inserts garlic sourced from Gilroy, a region known for consistent bulb quality. This combination creates a pronounced garlic flavor that integrates into the olive rather than merely sitting beside it, giving a cohesive tasting experience.

• Halkidiki olives: large, meaty, and firm for sturdy slices and whole-olive service.
• Gilroy garlic: chosen for concentrated flavor and farm-to-table freshness.
• Prepared and jarred to preserve texture and taste for convenient use.

How should I use and store these olives to keep them tasting their best?

The olives are shelf-stable unopened; once opened, refrigerate and use within the timeframe on the label for optimal texture and flavor. Use the brine to help retain moisture when serving, and transfer any unused portion to a sealed container to prevent odor transfer in the fridge.

• Unopened jars: store in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight.
• Opened jars: refrigerate and consume within the manufacturer's recommended days.
• Use brine when reheating or serving to keep olives plump and flavorful.
