Super tasty I added more garlic and a sprig of rosemary along with the thyme
Big hit at our house. Will be serving them at our upcoming cocktail party. Thank you, Valerie. I think my husband has a crush on you.
This recipe was absolutely delicious. I made it because my husband loves olives. I am not crazy about them, but I loved these! It is a must try!
I’ve made this so many times! Delish and my hubby’s fave. Super easy too.
So delicious!
When the olives are done, roast some vegetables in the leftover oil.

I love these! These are just a great, easy snack, and the resulting olive oil mix is wonderful for dunking bread to sop it all up. I have been making these at least once a week and have recommended this recipe to my daughters, who are also huge fans. I now keep at least 2 jars of Castelvetranos in the pantry at all times.
Amazing olives. My whole family loves them.
I love these olives! What a bright and tasty appetizer. I make this recipe a lot.
It was a hit in our home.
Our company loved them. I made them in the morning and reheated before serving in a fancy bowl on my hors d’oeuvres table. Very yummy! Will make this again.
