How to Use

As an Appetizer (Petiscos):

2. Drain well and transfer to a serving dish.
3. Drizzle lightly with olive oil if desired.
4. Serve with crusty bread, cheese, and cured meats.

In Cooking:

1. Use whole olives directly in salads, stews, and rice dishes.
2. Add to pork and seafood preparations (like Carne de Porco à Alentejana).
3. Chop and scatter over roasted vegetables or savory breads.
4. Incorporate into Mediterranean-inspired recipes for authentic flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Arrange Galega olives on a Portuguese appetizer platter alongside Mimosa Manteiga com Sal Portuguese Butter 250g and crusty bread for an authentic "petiscos" experience. Toss them into fresh salads with tomatoes, onions, and herbs, or stir into stews and rice dishes for traditional Portuguese depth. They're equally at home on a simple plate with Esporão Extra Virgin Olive Oil and crusty bread for dipping.
