Infusing Flavor into Mediterranean Dishes

Mediterranean cuisine celebrates simple yet robust ingredients, and olives are often the star of the show. Penna’s California olives can enhance dishes like Greek salads, pasta, and flatbreads. Toss them with some of our herb-infused olive oil and serve over roasted vegetables for a flavor-packed side dish.

A Healthier Snack Alternative

While most people enjoy snacking on olives as they are, you can make your own healthy, flavourful snacks at home by combining Penna’s fresh olives with ingredients like roasted nuts or dried fruit. This provides not only a balanced snack but also a gourmet twist that’s far more satisfying than regular chips or crackers.
