Olives in brine: Green or a mix for the perfect aperitif
What are olives in brine?
Olives in brine are whole olives with pits, gently pickled in a mildly salted brine so that their natural flavour remains the centre of attention. They are available in two varieties: green olives (crunchy and nutty, Intosso variety) and as an olive mix with fruity, ripe Leccino. Both cost CHF 15. Currently, 6 olive mixes and 5 jars of green olives are in stock at the Eterna Concept Store in Stäfa on Lake Zurich, with delivery to Zollikon, Herrliberg, Oetwil am See, Hinwil, Freienbach, and more.
When was the last time you really tasted olives?
Many jarred olives taste mainly of salt or seasoning. It is different here: the brine is mildly salted so that the olive's own flavour sets the tone. That makes the difference, especially at a simple apéro where a few good things are all that matters. Anyone looking to buy olives in brine in Switzerland will find two varieties here that are distinctly different and complement each other perfectly on the table.
