These whole black olives from Tremoceira are a simple, honest expression of traditional Portuguese olive preparation. Grown and cured in Portugal by a small, family-run producer, they feature a dark colour, firm skin, and soft, yielding flesh. Their flavour is pronounced, with a slightly oxidised note that adds depth without overwhelming the palate.

These olives are not pitted, which helps preserve their full flavour and texture. They’re ideal served as-is alongside bread, cheese, or cured meats — making them a natural fit for a tapas board or aperitif spread. In the kitchen, they’re versatile: toss them into grain salads, stir them through warm pasta dishes, or add them to slow-cooked stews for a touch of earthy richness.

They also pair beautifully with ingredients like orange, fennel, roasted peppers, or goat cheese. For a simple snack, drizzle them with a little good olive oil and herbs like thyme or rosemary.

Tremoceira has been working with olives and lupin beans for generations, keeping production methods close to tradition. These olives are a reflection of that heritage - unpretentious, full of character, and ready to elevate everyday meals.
