Spanish olives
Tapas bar drupes
Spanish olives are green olives, typically the Manzanilla variety, stuffed with pimento and sold in brine.
They're the classic cocktail olive, appearing in martinis and on appetizer trays: She speared a Spanish olive from her drink.
Spain is the world's largest olive producer, but the term specifically evokes these stuffed green olives rather than Spanish origin.
