If you think olives are just olives, prepare to have your mind—and your taste buds—blown. Enter Sloppy Olives, a vibrant, salty, and slightly spicy bite-sized flavor bomb inspired by the classic Italian puttanesca sauce. So grab your olive jar and get ready to amp up your snack game with this delightful twist.
What Are Sloppy Olives?
Think of Puttanesca sauce: tangy tomatoes, briny capers, pungent garlic, fiery chili flakes, and plenty of black olives all mingled together. Now imagine bottling that flavor explosion directly into olives themselves. Sloppy Olives are marinated olives that soak in the essence of this sauce, infusing the olives with layers of savory complexity and a little kick.
They’re the perfect marriage of brine and boldness, punchy enough to elevate salads, pasta, or your cheese board, but pliable enough to sneak into everyday meals for a savory boost.
Why You Should Love Sloppy Olives
