Blue Cheese Stuffed Chalkidiki Olives

"Known to many a student of the classics as the birthplace of philosopher Aristotle, the Greek peninsula of Chalkidiki is also home to one of our very favorite varieties of olive. Mighty, meaty, and beautifully buttery in texture, Chalkidiki Olives make a natural foil to rich, ripe flavors, like creamy Blue Cheese. So, it was only a matter of time before we used a little Aristotelian logic to determine that Blue Cheese is delicious, and Chalkidiki Olives are delicious, therefore Blue Cheese Stuffed Chalkidiki Olives will be doubly delicious. Our supplier in Greece takes generously-sized, exceptionally firm Chalkidiki Olives, stuffs them with a creamy, bold and tangy Blue Cheese spread (which includes a bit of salty mizithra cheese), then packs them in a blend of sunflower and extra virgin olive oils. Each jar of these loaded orbs is like a present waiting to be unpacked. Great for gift baskets and ideal for cocktail parties, Trader Joe’s Blue Cheese Stuffed Chalkidiki Olives will make any martini enthusiast’s day. Truth be told, we simply like to snack on them."
