{"title":"Crespo","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrespo is an olive label, and the line we stock is pitted black olives in brine. Black olives of this type are mellow and soft, with a gentle saltiness, quite different from the sharper, firmer taste of green olives. Pitted olives save time in the kitchen, because they can go straight from the tin onto a board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey sit in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/olives-and-gherkins\"\u003eolives and gherkins\u003c\/a\u003e collection, within the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pickles-pastes-and-sauces\"\u003epickles, pastes and sauces\u003c\/a\u003e department.

In salads they pair with feta, cucumber and tomato in a Greek salad, or with egg and potato in a niçoise style plate. Chopped finely with garlic, capers and olive oil, they make a quick tapenade for toast or crackers. Many families also add them to wraps, sandwiches and Indo Mediterranean fusion dishes such as olive and paneer pizza or masala pasta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce opened, move any unused olives into a clean jar, cover them with the brine and keep them in the fridge, where they stay good for a week or two. Do not leave them in the open tin. A quick rinse under the tap takes away some of the salt if you are adding them to a delicate dish.
