Molives - 1st Feb 2020
Olives are just olives?
Australian family-run business Molives is out to prove you
wrong.
This Sydney-based company specialises in producing quality,
artisan Australian gourmet olives for the discerning consumers –handmade in
small batches– as an alternative to mass-produced, machine-stuffed olives.
Their passion for olives allows them to strive in finding
the finest, nutritional olives and constantly push boundaries to create new
gourmet olives products. They use only the finest Greek olives, traditionally
brined to be perfectly tender, yet crisp. These plump, juicy Greek olives are
then hand-stuffed and marinated with award-winning, fresh Australian
ingredients.
Molives also strives to support the Australian local farmers
– table olives are Australian grown; olive oil and all stuffing ingredients are
Australian; even their production materials such as plastic pails and labels
are made in Australia!
They also pride themselves on their convenient and smart
packaging to make storing and serving olives easy – no refrigeration required;
no fuss, no liquid, no mess; and still fresh and delicious.
Create a bed of couscous for roast meats on an attractive
and decorate them with hand-stuffed almond olives, enjoy the succulent and
flavoursome pitted kalamatas with cubes of fetta and slices of crusty bread, or
simply have these olives as a snack to enjoy with beer or chilled wines. They
are great to serve with fine wines, cocktails and beers. You could also add
them to pasta dishes, pizzas, bread, antipasto platters, cheese platters,
tagines, casseroles and so much more!
These olives are currently available in 5 exciting varieties
at Huber’s – Pitted Australian Kalamata Olives, Australian Seasonal Olives,
Oregano & Garlic Olives, Chilli Green Olives, and Almond Hand-stuffed
Olives.
They are all specifically salt- and vinegar- reduced, improving their flavour and bringing through the real flavour of olives.
Pitted Australian Kalamata Olives
Olives brined in the traditional method, using sea salt,
water and vinegar over several months, until ready for eating.
Australian Seasonal Olives
The party mix is a combination of the greatest groves across
Australia. Olives were sourced based on seasonal variety and farm location,
giving a wide range of flavours and textures, then mixed in together with dried
herbs and olive oil, a light marinade to maintain the goodness and flavour of
the olives.
Oregano & Garlic Olives
For those who appreciate the savoury appeal of
oregano! Infused with aromatic oregano and beautifully balanced with
garlic, these tender, fleshy olives are incredibly moreish. They are also gently
hand-mixed in small batches to preserve the olives' freshness, flavour and
texture.
Chilli Green Olives
Gentle and smooth flavour of chili. Full of nutrition and
punch, it’s a party starter with lasting first impression. Dried chilies
simmered with olive oil and hand-mixed with premium Molives to reach that
perfect balance of flavours on fire. All natural ingredients.
Almond Hand-stuffed Olives
A whole roasted almond hand-stuffed in a Molive, giving a
delicious and crisp nutty flavour. All natural ingredients.

More about Molives
Molives grew from modest beginnings at the Orange Grove
organic farmers’ market in Sydney in 2010 when founder and owner Mo Amin was
still at university.
Mo and his mother began selling olives after finding a gap
in a market dominated by cheap imports. After developing a bond with the local
farmers and learning about local growers’ difficulties in taking their products
to sell through retail channels, Mo is determined to revolutionise the
Australian olive industry and help local farmers.
His brother Ibby, a mechanical engineer, chipped in and
helped modify the packaging machine to ensure the product’s uniqueness and
maintain high olive preservation. The marinating process remains manually done
despite being arduous, as they believe in keeping the hand element otherwise it
loses quality and becomes mainstream. Molives have since expanded and extended
their market reach – they are now also served on major airlines.
