Product Specifications Made Simple

Understanding what makes a great olive is key. Here’s a clear breakdown of what you're getting in every jar, explained in simple terms.

• Olive Variety: Hojiblanca
  • What it means: Named for the silvery-white underside of its leaves ('hoja blanca' means 'white leaf'), this olive is celebrated for its firm texture that holds up well in recipes. It has a very mild, smooth, and slightly buttery flavour with a faint almond-like finish, making it a crowd-pleaser.
• Origin: Andalusia, Spain

  • Why it matters: This region's unique climate and fertile soil are ideal for growing olives, resulting in a product with exceptional depth of flavour and quality.
• Total Weight: 430g
  • What it includes: This is the total weight of the olives plus the preserving liquid (brine), which keeps them fresh and flavourful.
• Drained Weight: 200g
  • The real measure: This is the actual weight of the olives themselves once you drain the brine. It's the best way to know exactly how many olives you're getting in the jar.
• Ingredients: Olives, Water, Salt, Stabiliser (Ferrous Gluconate).
  • Why a stabiliser? Ferrous Gluconate is a common and completely safe ingredient used to fix the natural, uniform black colour of the ripe olives, ensuring they look as good as they taste.
• Packaging: A sturdy, re-sealable glass jar that protects the olives from light and air, locking in their freshness and flavour long after opening.

Borges Black Pitted Olives are more than just an ingredient; they're an inspiration. Here’s how you can enjoy them:

• Effortless Snacking: Serve them chilled, straight from the jar, for a healthy and satisfying snack.
• Vibrant Salads: Add a burst of savoury flavour and meaty texture to Greek salads, pasta salads, or simple mixed greens.
• Pizza & Pasta Toppings: Scatter them generously over your homemade pizza or stir them into a rich tomato sauce for an authentic Mediterranean touch.
