What it is

Manzanilla olives are a variety of olive, typically harvested when ripe and black. They are often cured using a process that involves lye treatment to remove bitterness, followed by fermentation in brine. This process gives them their characteristic mild flavor and firm texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use ripe Manzanilla olives as a flavorful ingredient in various foods. Their mild, slightly briny taste makes them a popular choice for pizzas, salads, and as a direct accompaniment to meals, especially in canned or jarred formats.

Health notes

Ripe Manzanilla olives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of monounsaturated fats and contain some fiber and antioxidants. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated olives and their derivatives, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also assessed related compounds. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Olives are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
