Triana Almond-Stuffed Manzanilla Olives (280ml)

Triana Almond-Stuffed Manzanilla Olives pair two much-loved Spanish appetisers in one bite. Manzanilla olives grown in Arahal, Andalucía, are filled by hand with a whole almond, bringing together the savoury character of the olive and the satisfying crunch of the nut. It is a simple combination that earns its place on a tapas table, an aperitivo tray or a carefully assembled cheese board.

The almond centre makes these an appealing choice when you want to offer something a little different from a bowl of plain olives. Each bite brings a contrast of textures, and the 280ml jar is a convenient addition to your pantry for those moments when friends stop by or dinner needs an easy opening course. They also make a thoughtful addition to a Spanish gourmet gift basket.

Serving suggestions

Serve a drained portion in a small dish with aged Manchego, sliced chorizo and crusty bread. Add some roasted piquillo peppers and a tin of your favourite conservas for a generous tapas spread with very little preparation. The almond filling means there is already a nutty element on the board, making it easy to balance the rest with fresh vegetables, cheese and bread.

For a light lunch, slice a few olives into a tomato salad with finely sliced onion and parsley. They are also lovely alongside roasted peppers, grilled courgettes or a simple potato salad. Use them as an appetiser on cocktail picks, or add one to a small skewer with a piece of cheese for an easy party bite. Let the olive and almond remain the focus rather than covering them with a heavy dressing.

Wine pairing

A chilled Fino sherry offers a classic savoury pairing, while a dry Cava provides a refreshing contrast to the almond. For a still white wine, try a lively Verdejo alongside your tapas selection.
