Fennel & Lavender Marinated Castelvetrano Olives

I could enjoy Castelvetrano olives morning, noon and night. They make a perfect accompaniment to cheese and will add vibrant green color to your plate. Thanks to the immaculate location and fertile land, these Sicilian olives are bright and buttery - marinating them will elevate and compliment the flavors. If you're an olive lover, they are wildly addictive!

16 oz Castelvetrano olives

1 lemon, zest and juice

1/2 orange, zest and juice

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoon California Fennel Pollen

1/2 teaspoon dried lavender

a pinch of fresh cracked pepper and red chili flakes, or to taste

1/3 cup Calivirgin Extra Virgin Olive Oil
