During the final grading of Rosnay's Kalamata Olives, anything that is a bit too soft to make it into the jar is diverted to a brush finisher, which brushes the flesh of the olives away from the seeds and skins. The resulting fine olive paste is then gently simmered and hot-bottled with the addition of Rosemary, Thyme, and a touch of chilli to enhance the depth of flavour. This spreadable olive paste is a pantry staple—versatile enough for everyday snacks, elegant enough for entertaining.
