- You don't have to stick to Spanish flavours. Why not use Mexican or Italian herbs and spices instead.
- These olives will keep in an air tight jar in the fridge for around 2 weeks.
- Serve at any tapas dinner party or with a simple grilled chicken or salmon dish.
- Bulk this dish out a little and transform them by adding some skinned almonds.
