Instead of grabbing any old jar of olives for your next charcuterie board, kick things up a notch with Trader Joe's new Lemon Stuffed Olives.
A great option for the holiday season, the new limited-edition Lemon Stuffed Olives are a flavorful alternative to ordinary green olives. Trader Joe's starts with a batch of Chalkidki olives, sourced from a supplier in Greece. These olives are big in size and buttery in texture, which makes them perfect for stuffing. After pitting the olives, Trader Joe's supplier then adds tart and zesty lemon peel, packs everything in a bold brine, and ships them out. The result is a tangy, citrusy olive that makes a great addition to everything from cocktails to mezze plates, and charcuterie boards.
