Kiwi Artisan – Manuka Wood Smoked Olives – 350g - GF, Vegan

Bold. Smoky. Seriously moreish — olives with a proper campfire edge.

These aren’t your standard jar olives. Kiwi Artisan Manuka Wood Smoked Olives are premium green and Kalamata olives cold-smoked over genuine Manuka wood chips, then finished with quality olive oil for a rich, distinctive flavour that instantly upgrades any platter.

They’re handcrafted using traditional smoking techniques — perfect for grazing boards, antipasto spreads, or straight-from-the-jar snacking when the olive cravings strike.

Why it earns a spot in the Underground Chef pantry

Because they bring instant depth and “wow” with zero effort. That Manuka smoke adds a savoury, almost meaty note — making these olives a standout on boards and in salads, pasta, and pizzas.

Chef Ian’s favourite ways to use them

• Grazing / antipasto / butter boards: with crusty bread and a drizzle of olive oil
• Salads: rocket, cherry tomatoes, feta (or a vegan feta)
• Pasta: toss through warm pasta with garlic and herbs for smoky depth
• Warm veg medleys: especially with roasted capsicum, zucchini, eggplant
• Pizza / flatbreads: scatter on top for instant savoury punch
• Snack attack: straight from the jar (no judgement)

Chef’s tip

Warm them gently (just a minute or two) and serve with bread — the smoke aroma blooms and they taste next-level.
