#castelvetrano
Gin, a little vermouth, STIRRED, and letting it sit for just a bit to dilute a touch, I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED

(Usually a twist, BUT sometimes olives - one or three, never two - but only if they’re house stuffed blue cheese or goat cheese OR castelvetrano)

Noooooooooo. I could deal with the recalls due to glass, metal shards, cyclospora, or salmonella. But THIS. This is nightmare fodder. I have food poisoning symptoms just thinking about it.

*contemplates tossing the Mezzetta mild banana pepper rings and Castelvetrano olives currently in the pantry*

Noooo not Mezzetta??! They make the castelvetrano olives that I put in my martoonis 😭

My most favourite drink?
Why a vodka martini, dry as you can make it, stirred, NEVER shaken, with 3 castelvetrano olives.
Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️

Are the mixed ones in the refrigerated section. A 3 pack? I just saw them today. N. CA. Idud see large olives in a jar but don't know if they were Castelvetrano. I love them myself and we are lucky to have a local market carries them

Are they pitted? Castelvetrano olives are impossible to pit without ending up with olive pulp.

Anyone know when costco is going to get the good Castelvetrano olives in again? My kid won't let me throw out the brine in our last jar. She's drinking it until the olives come back. 😂

Yes, there’s a superior (Castelvetrano) and inferior (Kalamata).

You're welcome.

I felt a similar sense of dread as I browsed the new Uncle Giuseppe's near me and saw display after display of beef tallow products. Who gets excited about that and not taleggio or castelvetrano olives??

Remove the meatballs and add some cherry tomatoes, and then some Castelvetrano olives

It was worth the wait: homegrown lettuces, dressed potatoes with castelvetrano olives, basil garlic salmon, butter beans with herbes de provence, haricot verts with red wine vinegar, homemade spicy pickled radishes & watermelon rind, topped with a homemade fried sardine vinaigrette

We remained so stuffed with Bornean food and Fosselman’s ice cream that we just had a Martini for dinner. 🍸🫒

Yeah I kinda like them too but only on things. Never to eat on its own. Just too rubbery and lacks olive flavor. They're their own category. I love castelvetrano as well.

I wasn’t big on olives (they’re ok for me) until I had Castelvetrano olives. I think it’s a US quality issue. I did like the “black olives” you’re maligning here, as a kid. Which are apparently black because of some kind of unholy lye-based processing method. They’re not just Kalamata or whatever.

It's bad enough America stole our cuisine and bastardized it with an indigestible mockery of "pasta," but to say olives, native to the region, don't belong??

Go treat yourself to a Castelvetrano sometime.
