If you're looking for an olive that's big on flavor, look no further than Trader Joe's new Garlic & Jalapeño Stuffed Olives.
Stuffed olives aren't exactly new, but Trader Joe's new version is so stuffed that they come with not just one, but two big flavors. The brand starts with firm, buttery, and briny olives sources from a small port city along the Aegean Sea in Greece. The green Chalkidiki Olives are then pitted and stuffed with garlic and tangy pickled Jalapeño. The result is a savory snack that is delicious on its own, but also makes a great addition to pizzas, sandwiches, and salads. For something really special, Trader Joe's suggests adding them to your next round of dirty martinis.
