Cocktail Martini Olives

Brined Spanish-style green cocktail olives (Manzanilla or Queen/Gordal varietals), typically pitted and often pimento-stuffed, sized for spearing as a martini garnish. Briny, mildly tart, lightly vegetal — the canonical garnish for the Vodka/Gin Martini, Gibson variant, and Dirty Martini (where olive brine is also poured into the drink). Distinct from large buttery Italian Cerignola olives used as appetizers.
