Description

Garlic-stuffed olives are green or black olives that have been carefully pitted and stuffed with a piece of fresh or pickled garlic. This ingredient is very popular in Mediterranean cuisine and is widely used as an appetizer, in salads, tapas, and as a side dish in various recipes.

Olives, native to the Mediterranean basin, have been cultivated for thousands of years, and their combination with garlic provides an intense and characteristic flavor that enhances any recipe. Garlic, known for its strong and slightly spicy aroma, perfectly complements the soft texture and salty taste of olives.

Properties: Olives are rich in healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E, while garlic provides sulfur compounds with potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits. Together, they form a tasty and nutritious ingredient that adds flavor and health benefits.

In different Latin American countries, garlic-stuffed olives may have different names or be presented in similar variations, although the most common term is garlic-stuffed olives. In some places, they are also simply known as olives with garlic or garlic olives. It is a versatile ingredient that adds a special touch to both traditional and modern preparations.
