These vibrant Moroccan olives are infused with fresh cilantro, parsley, garlic, and a blend of cumin and cayenne. Lemon juice and olive oil create a bright marinade. The process begins by soaking the olives overnight to reduce their saltiness, followed by a week-long marination in the fridge to develop the flavours fully. This makes a superb addition to a mezze platter or a tangy salad component.
