Although I\u2019m not from the Mediterranean region<\/a>, my home country does border Greece, so you\u2019d best believe I grew up in an olive-loving household. When shopping for groceries, my parents would always make a beeline for the olive bar and stock up for the week, making sure they were always included in our dinner spread<\/a>. Even now, they\u2019re still a staple in my diet, whether I\u2019m adding feta-stuffed olives to my pasta, enjoying Castelvetranos as a happy hour bar snack, or eating them straight out of the jar at home. So, you can imagine how excited I was to try Kosterina\u2019s new snacking olive trio<\/a>, which just launched today. You might already be familiar with this brand, as they make some of our readers\u2019 and editors\u2019 favorite olive oils<\/a> and vinegars<\/a>. Now, the Greek-owned company has ventured into the snacking space with a very fitting new product. I got to try all three new olive varieties myself \u2014 and they did not disappoint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When you purchase this trio, you, too, can get all three of Kosterina\u2019s new olive varieties. I first tried the coriander and pink pepper green olives, which naturally have a slightly citrusy, floral flavor. They\u2019re light and refreshing and would make an especially nice addition to summer meals. Next, I tried two different kinds of Kalamata olives: the Greek herb olives and a spicy version. What\u2019s great about each jar is that its contents are raw, pasteurized, and naturally cured, so they\u2019re free of unwanted preservatives. Even if you have the olives<\/a> shipped to your door, you can rest assured that they\u2019ll taste fresh. Once you refrigerate them, they\u2019ll stay that way for three weeks (though we\u2019re sure it won\u2019t take you that long to finish them). And if you find that you prefer one variety over the other two, you can also purchase a trio of just that kind<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The thing I love most about these olives<\/a> (and olives in general) is how versatile they are. So far, I\u2019ve eaten them as a snack with cheese and crackers, and they definitely make each bite taste more complex thanks to their fresh herbs and spices. But, I also can\u2019t wait to cook with the olives: They\u2019d be perfect in salads and Mediterranean-inspired bowls with hummus, potatoes, greens, and a host of other ingredients. The green olives are good, but I especially love both of the Kalamata olives. The spicy ones, in particular, add a nice kick to whatever you\u2019re eating. Finally, I appreciate that all of the olives are pitted, so I don\u2019t have to spit anything out mid-bite. Suffice to say, even if the rest of your meal is totally bland, these are enough to give it plenty of flavor, and they\u2019re so easy to include in any dish. Pick up your own trio today for just $25, and upgrade your at-home snacking. <\/p>\n Buy: Snacking Olives Trio<\/a>, $25<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat is the Snacking Olives Trio?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
