Two of the things we love most in the world are great food and great conversation. So, what about a great food that facilitates great conversation? Well, now you’re really talking. That’s why we’re so abuzz about Trader Joe’s Organic Conversation Olives. Brought to us by a supplier in Italy, who sources their Organic Olives from Puglia (the “heel” of Italy’s “boot”), each jar contains a mix of three distinctly delicious varieties of Olive: bold, buttery, and bright green Nocellara; tender, super savory, and reddish-green Bella di Cerignola; and mild, toothsome, and reddish-purple Leccino. Together, this carefully curated trio can be enjoyed in all kinds of scenarios, from a cocktail party hors d’oeuvre table, to a date night charcuterie plate, to even a simple, anytime, right-out-of-the-fridge snack. However, we like them best when employed as their name implies: as a consummate Conversation starter. Keep a jar on hand to idly snack on whenever a friend comes over to chat. Serve them alongside a nice cheese for an elevated after-work or after-school treat while catching up with a loved one. And if you prefer to snack solo, might we suggest pairing them with one of the compelling conversations featured on our podcast, Inside Trader Joe’s?
