Royal Olive

A large Greek olive that can be dark brown, light brown or red in color. It is an oblong shaped olive that is often slit, salt brine-cured, and packed with vinegar and olive oil providing a fruity flavor, similar to a Kalamata olive. It can be served as a snack, as a complement to salads or as a nice addition to pasta dishes. This olive is also known as the Victoria olive, the Royal Victoria olive, or at times, the Royal Atlas olive.
