Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 I recently found the most amazing olives I've ever tasted, Adam's Ranch olives, and the best thing about them might not even be the taste: they're salt-cured, and with Celtic sea salt! As I understand it, this means they're traditionally fermented rather than preserved with a vinegar brine, though two varieties do have vinegar in their ingredients, the Queen and Kosher Dill olives. The others are vinegar-free. They're available from the Grain & Salt Society (not surprising, since it's their salt) at http://www.celtic-seasalt.com/olmadwitcels.html and I gather Adam sells them (and more varieties besides, and other pickled vegetables) at a number of farmers markets in California, but I don't know whether they've showed up at stores anywhere. I've tried all the olives the Salt Society sells except for the Kosher Dills, and so far my personal favorite by a pretty substantial margin are the garlic-stuffed ones. The pimento-stuffed olives are also quite good, but unfortunately both stuffed types cost a good deal more than the un-pitted ones. Still, I think it's worth it. I'm eating garlic-stuffeds right now, and they're terribly addictive. I should add that I've never been much of an olive fan before. I didn't mind the occasional olive, I even liked some of them, but I've never before found myself eating olive after olive and ordering more. I think these would probably appeal to many more people than just olive connoisseurs. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anchovy-stuffed olives are so good. He sells olive oil too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
