marinated olives

Seasoned preserved fruit

Marinated olives are olives that have been cured and then steeped in a seasoned liquid—typically olive oil with garlic, herbs, citrus, or spices.

The marinade infuses flavor and softens the texture.

They appear on antipasto platters, in salads, or alongside cheese and charcuterie: We put out some marinated olives with the wine.
