The mollar olive

Food and drink · Cieza, Vega Alta del Segura, Murcia

Image of Cieza, not of the place itself.

Table olive variety proper to the municipal district, with fleshy pulp that comes away easily from the stone and a marked, bitter flavour. It is dressed in brine with fennel and garlic, and is the protagonist of the summer stone-throwing contest.
