Olives

Its Saturday morning and we have just returned from our local deli. ,where they had  out to taste black olives stuffed with almonds, made into a sweet.
I know this sounds bizarre but they are truly delicious served with a soft greek cheese such as anthotiro.
The salty , oiliness of the olives balances the sweetness perfectly. A great find to serve with pre dinner drinks.
Today Haridimos Hatzidakis is coming over with some samples of his just bottled 2010 "Santorini". I can't wait to taste it.
Will report

  1. Olive-sweet...! Doesn't sound like anything I would like to try...
    But who knows, maybe I would like them, because I really don't like olives like they are! (Except for the taste I love them though!)
