🫒 THE AZEITONA REVIEW IS BACK!

And this time… Zachy made sure he was included. Apparently doing an olive review without him was absolutely unacceptable. 😂 So enjoy the little clips of my tiny olive critic doing what he does best!

Today we’re trying Costco’s garlic & jalapeño hand-stuffed olives 🧄🌶️🫒

BUT… my #1 olive still hasn’t been dethroned 👑 — the Middle Eastern olives from The Olive Market Mediterranean in Pleasanton. IYKYK. 🤌

Back at it with Zacinho… because apparently this is our review series now. 😂🫒

More Portuguese Goodness in the Tri-Valley 🇵🇹🤍

So excited to see The Olive Market working closer with our Portuguese community and bringing in more of the products we know and love!

This one is extra special. Alexandra and I have known each other since middle school —two daughters of immigrants who always shared that connection to culture and family.

So proud of what she, her husband, and their family have built: a market where cultures come together and everyone feels represented. Truly, Thank you The Olive Market Mediterranean

Support local. Celebrate culture. Build community. ❤️

Some of the BEST Bolos de Berlim/Malasadas I’ve ever tasted! 🤤🇵🇹 And with flavors always changing, you’ll keep coming back to see what Jessica creates next!

I met Jessica when she joined us as a judge for Battle of the Bifanas and immediately fell in love with her AND her pastries. ❤️

San Jose has one AMAZING pasteleira! If you haven’t tried them yet… WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! 🤌🏼🇵🇹
