{Olive Bar at Whole Foods Market}

  • For my readers that live in the USA, they maybe know about the ENORMOUS selection of OLIVES at the Olive Bar of  Whole Foods Market. 
  • Did you know that they come in that many sizes, colors and varieties?

  • Do you love olives?
  • I do, as long as they are not too salty...

  • Pasta & Olives

  • Tiny gherkins or cornichons as we know them.
  • Or in Dutch 'augurkjes'...

Funny is that the American gherkin taste is so different from the Dutch, French or German ones!
What is your favorite pickle?

    Oh, they do look so good all together! I love black olives and I love gherkins. I am the only one in my family that loves gherkins, so I buy them for a special treat. But I cook with black olives often - with pasta or on pizza. Yum! xx

    Amo le olive e le uso spesso anche nella preparazione di sughi o torte salate. Devo dire però che mai ho visto una carellata di olive come quella che ci hai mostrato in questo post. Paola

    Favorite pickles: Kosher baby dills Favorite olives: Kalamatas (but really any that don't come from a can)

    We have a local family owned market (A chain of three) that stocks all sorts of goodies, including a locally roasted coffee that Proge swears by. It's nice to be able to shop locally; plus they generally have great sales and they are of a size that I don't have to prepare for a major hike.

    Dearest Mariette
    Sure, I like olives - but I've never seen so many different varieties at once.
    Hmm, now I was hungry for those...
    Hugs to you

    A foto do cabeçalho do seu blog é maravilhosa!...
    Super imagens, gosto de azeitonas, a pesar de não termos muita escolha...
    nosso clima não é propício para olivais.
    Boa continuação da semana!
    Beijinhos.

    Yummy! I love olives and of course we can get a very wide variety here. Bread & butter pickles are my favorite. :) Have a great day. Tammy
