Olives: What are your favorite type of olives to add to a cheese board?

Proseco is a great wine for a cheese board

Castlevetrano.

Best olives I've ever tasted. I asked the original owner of Nor-Joe's what was the best and this was their answer.

I wish these were easier to find. I always try to keep them around for tagine dishes, but most places just don't stock them. I feel like the canned Lindsay green olives are a close substitute. Manzanilla are just too salty and that great natural olive taste is lost in them.

They usually have them at Whole Foods, and I believe I found them at Trader Joe's before.

I order them on Amazon.

I've ordered a can from there myself, and they were better than most olives. But they're not as good as the ones that are not canned that you get at the store.

Any type of Greek Olive is the way to go with cheese.

The Greek Olive Blend from Sams is awesome. Big pitted green and kalamata olives tossed in a light olive oil, oregano and sea salt.

If you have a Kroger around the have some giant green feta cheese stuffed green olives on their olive bar which are awesome.
