Today I will dedicate this post to my beloved olives! The amounts of olives I can eat go beyond normal. When I get home from work, before I start making dinner, I often go straight to the kitchen to grab a snack. Guess which one? All it takes to make me happy right there and then is a piece of bread, and olives. No matter whether they are green, black, small or big.
Not too long ago I was browsing through a cooking book, when I ran into this recipe. Its simplicity immediately caught my attention. And I wondered: Why has it never crossed my mind to season them with the zest of oranges and lemons? But better late than never, right? This recipe represents the Mediterranean flavors at its best! Olives, oranges, lemons, rosemary and olive oil. Wow! Isn’t it intriguing?
I loved the idea of storing them in a mason jar. It’s handy and portable, whether you simply want to store them at home, take them to a picnic, or even as a gift give-away for friends and family!

I love olives. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never made my own olive marinade but this has definitely inspired me to! I can already taste them through your photos…
