Try Something New: Blue Cheese Stuffed Green Olives

I was at a mom’s night out party last weekend and one of the appetizers was blue cheese stuffed green olives. As the plate went by, I thought to myself “I don’t like green olives or blue cheese”. But then I thought about it, I have never really tried green olives! I always encourage my boys to try something new, so I decided I needed to follow through.

I was pleasantly surprised by the DeLallo Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives. These little olives were packed in light oil. I read that many times green olives are packed in a vinegar brine. The light oil definitely gives these a milder taste. I was also surprised by the creamy blue cheese. It is not the kind of blue cheese that I am accustomed too. The combination of the slightly salty green olives and the creamy cheese was delightful.

I actually had a jar of these DeLallo olives at home that I had received as a gift. When I got back from the party I promptly opened the jar and encouraged hubby to try them. Of course I had to eat a couple more too! Hubby was not as thrilled as I was. He got Mr. B to try one too and he was even less thrilled. So it looks like I have the whole jar to myself!

I know not everyone will enjoy the strong flavor of this combination. However, make sure you always try something new. you never know when your taste buds will change. Items you thought you didn’t like may become your new favorite snack!
