green olives
Martini garnish choice
Green olives are olives harvested before they fully ripen, while still firm and green rather than dark purple or black.
They have a more bitter, tangy flavor than ripe olives and are typically cured in brine, sometimes stuffed with pimentos, garlic, or almonds.
I'll have a martini with green olives.
They appear frequently in Mediterranean cuisine, on charcuterie boards, and as cocktail garnishes.
