Thassos is the most northern island of the Aegean Sea in Greece. This particular style of olive has been cultivated there and is rapidly growing in popularity outside of Greece.
Thassos Olives are selected natural Greek black olives that are sun dried and cured with salt and vinegar. However, like most olives these do not come preserved in a brine. The skin of the olive almost looks shriveled like a raisin does from the sun. Don’t let this fool you about the flavor, they are a salty and unusual delight.
How to Use Thassos Sun Dried Olives:
Try Thassos Olives as an addition to appetizer or cheese plate. To spice them up drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil over them and finish with Greek oregano!
The bulk container of Pelion Thassos sundried olives we carry are of the utmost quality. Of course, you need to be a serious fan in or All 28.5 pounds is solid product!
Whenever we sample olives at the shop people ask us what we do to make them taste so good. Many of them are in a homemade brine which add lots of flavor, but to spice them up for impressing guests is VERY simple!
To add some character to your olives, do the following:
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over your choice of olives, Trampetti is amazing!
Sprinkle a pinch of your favorite herbs, we use oregano
Sprinkle the tiniest bit of some fine sea salt, I recommend Fiori & Salt
That’s it! Try it next time olives are on the appetizer menu and you’ll taste the difference.
