Origin and Ingredients
Product from the brand Filema, Atlas line. Origin: Crete, Greece.

Taste and Texture
Green olives are usually firm and distinct, and here herbs and lemon add lightness: basil brings freshness, thyme herbal depth, and lemon a pleasant, citrusy accent. This is a great version if you prefer olives with a "brighter" profile, rather than heavy and intensely spiced ones.
