Taste #9

Picholines Cassées: 

These are the first and freshest green olives to be harvested starting in November, anticipated with pleasure a bit like a Beaujolais Nouveau, a sign of things to come.  They are smacked with a mallet to accelerate the brining process and flavoured with fennel.  I love the complete contrast to much riper black olives.
