the little spanish arbequina olives, hands down.

I love olives! My favorite depends on my mood - sometimes cerignola, sometimes arbequina, sometimes picholines, sometimes nicoise, sometimes picual, sometimes manzanilla - give them all to me.

Never met an olive I didn't love. My current favorite is picholine. It will be something else next week...

young, fat, green cerignolas. and sadly those gross pimento stuffed ones in the grocery store

feta-stuffed green olives. or black oil cured ones. I love the oil most of all- I practically drink it if it's good enough.

Picholine...or a big green one stuffed with a smoked almond. yum.

picholine with a little lemon zest and red pepper....mmmmm, too good

Definitely Kalamata, or ones stuffed with parmesan cheese...mmmm

Nicoise olives to eat out of hand.
A hand stuffed blue cheese green olive for my martini.

I had to look it up because, like many other above, I'm not familiar with the names, but Lucque olive are quite tasty.

I love those little arbequinas.

pimento stuffed "martini" olives. i used to suck the pimentos out then eat the olive--straight from the jar, when parents were drinking martinis
