Olives Et Al has introduced the world’s first olives aimed at over 18s, which it describes as ‘slightly naughty and perfect to create a mouth-watering Martini’.
Preserved in a choice of gin or vodka, naturally infused with fruit, the olives have to be served direct from the freezer. They can be added to cocktails, gin and tonic or simply eaten ice cold.
To create Neat & Dirty Olives, Olives Et Al chose the Sicilian Nocellara olive because of its creamy flavour and low salt content. Each olive is hand-sorted and double-graded before being placed in its jar, ready to be steeped in alcohol, infused with either natural lemon or orange zest.
“I seem to remember we had a rather jolly time creating these,” said founder Giles Henschel. “We discovered the best way to serve them ‘au naturel’ is placed in a Martini glass filled with crushed ice. Just pop a few on the top and hand them around. Although, we do advise people to eat responsibly, as these really are alcoholic.”
There are three varieties to choose from: Lemon Infused Vodka, Orange Infused Gin and Lemon Infused Gin.
