Mixed nuts are a great snack option any time of year, but during the holidays, they truly shine. They’re a particularly excellent addition to a pre-holiday-feast snack table, and work wonders as a salty, savory treat for a wintertime cocktail party, just for starters. Trader Joe’s Olive & Herbs Mixed Nuts only add to this classic snack’s charms via the introduction of tangy, dried Kalamata olives and a suite of aromatic herbs and seasonings to make one truly unique eating experience.

Starting with a hearty base of roasted almonds, cashews, and pecan pieces, our supplier adds an enticingly savory herb blend that includes oregano, sage, thyme, basil, marjoram, and rosemary, along with a bit of sea salt. The kicker, however, is the addition of Kalamata olives from Greece. These olives have been dehydrated and tossed in a blend of sunflower and olive oil to give them a satisfyingly soft texture, which, along with their pleasantly pungent tang, really bring this snack mix to life.
