Atlas Mykonos is a jar of marinated olives from the Atlas range, sold in a generous 850 g glass jar. Through the glass you can see plump green olives alongside darker ones, with whole garlic cloves and flecks of herbs suspended in the marinade, which gives the jar a rustic, home-marinated look.
On a Turkish-style breakfast table these olives sit comfortably next to white cheese, tomatoes, cucumber and fresh bread, and they work just as well on a meze plate with hummus, haydari or a wedge of feta. Chop a few and stir them into a pasta sauce, a tomato salad or a flatbread dough, or simply serve them with crusty bread and a drizzle of olive oil. Because garlic cloves are included in the jar, taste one before adding extra garlic to a recipe.
Keep the unopened jar in a cool, dark cupboard. Once opened, store it in the fridge with the olives covered by their marinade, lift them out with a clean spoon and follow the storage instructions printed on the jar. Please check the label for the full ingredient list and allergen information before serving.
