Add accompaniments like crackers, crusty bread, nuts, dried fruits, and honey for a well-rounded snack.

Stuff large green olives with cream cheese, blue cheese, or goat cheese for a bite-sized appetizer.
Secure with toothpicks for an elegant presentation.

Thread olives and cheese cubes (e.g., mozzarella, gouda, or Havarti) onto skewers.
Add cherry tomatoes or basil leaves for extra color and flavor.
4. Baked Olive and Cheese Dip
Combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, chopped olives, and herbs. Bake until bubbly for a warm, gooey dip.
5. Savory Olive and Cheese Bread
Incorporate chopped olives and shredded Parmesan or cheddar into bread dough for a flavorful loaf.
Tips for Pairing Olives and Cheese
Balance the Flavors: Match strong cheeses like blue cheese with robust olives like Kalamata, and milder cheeses with subtle olives.
Experiment with Textures: Pair creamy cheeses with firm olives for a satisfying contrast.
Marinate for Depth: Marinate olives in olive oil, garlic, and herbs to enhance their flavor before serving.
