What is Marinated olives?
Marinated olives are whole or split olives tossed with olive oil, herbs and spices, often with additions such as garlic or citrus. They belong to the wider Mediterranean tradition of seasoning olives, with combinations varying from one household or region to another. Their briny, sometimes pleasantly bitter flavour is rounded out by fragrant oil; split olives tend to take up more of the seasoning.
They work well as a small appetiser, on a mezze or antipasto board, or alongside bread, salads and grilled vegetables. They are rich in fat, with 21 g per 100 g, so a small serving can add plenty of flavour. For a lighter plate, drain off some of the oil before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions About Marinated olives
What are marinated olives?
Marinated olives are cured table olives dressed with ingredients such as olive oil, herbs, garlic, citrus, or spices. Recipes vary, and the dressing adds flavor rather than turning them into a different kind of olive.
How do you make marinated olives at home?
To make marinated olives, toss cured olives with olive oil, herbs, and flavorings such as garlic or lemon zest. Keep the mixture refrigerated in a clean, covered container, especially when it contains fresh garlic; do not leave it at room temperature.
Which olives are best for marinating?
Both green and black olives work well for marinating. Firm green olives hold their shape and pair nicely with citrus and herbs, while darker olives tend to be softer and richer; mixing varieties gives a range of textures and flavors.
What should you serve with marinated olives?
Serve marinated olives with bread, cheese, roasted vegetables, or other small bites as part of an antipasto-style spread. Their seasoned oil can also be spooned over bread or vegetables, so offer plain accompaniments to balance the strong flavors.
How long do marinated olives last in the refrigerator?
Keep marinated olives covered in the refrigerator and use a clean utensil each time. Follow the package directions for opened commercial olives; homemade versions, particularly those with fresh garlic, are best made in small batches and eaten promptly.
Should you rinse marinated olives before eating them?
No, marinated olives usually do not need rinsing, and washing removes much of their seasoning and oil. If the olives taste too salty, briefly rinse and drain them, knowing that this will also reduce the marinade’s flavor.
Are marinated olives the same as antipasto olives?
Not necessarily. Marinated olives are olives seasoned with oil and flavorings, while “antipasto olives” usually describes olives served as part of an Italian-style appetizer assortment. The ingredients and preparation can overlap, but the terms are not interchangeable.
Can you cook with marinated olives?
Yes, marinated olives work in pasta, roasted vegetables, and baked dishes. Add them toward the end of cooking when you want to preserve more of the herbs’ and garlic’s aroma, and use some of the seasoned oil if it suits the recipe.
Can you freeze marinated olives?
You can freeze marinated olives, but it is usually not worthwhile because freezing can make their texture soft and less appealing after thawing. Refrigerate them instead, and prepare a smaller batch if you will not use them soon.
Are marinated olives healthy to eat?
Marinated olives can fit into a balanced diet, but their saltiness matters: the marinade does not remove the sodium used to cure the olives. If you need to limit sodium, choose a less salty option and keep portions modest.
