En renouvellant les olives cocktail, nous avons célébré notre affinité pour un Martini classique : un bon coup de vermouth sec, et le punch de genièvre et de coriandre que nous associons à un excellent gin sec. Nos olives, cultivées en Californie, partagent ce même profil de saveur ; ce sont des olives copieuses, non farcies, avec une saumure savoureuse pour laquelle vous trouverez sans doute un usage approprié. Ces olives sont le compagnon idéal de ce cocktail classique, tout comme un Bloody Mary - ou, comme le font les Italiens, avec un bon Spritz. Vous les trouverez peut-être même assez bonnes pour être consommées directement dans le bocal.

When updating the cocktail olive, we celebrated our affinity for a classic Martini: a nice splash of Dry Vermouth, and the punch of juniper & coriander that we associate with a great Dry Gin. Our olives, grown in California, share that same flavor profile; they are a hearty olive, unstuffed, with a flavorful brine that you’ll no doubt find a suitable use for. These olives are the ideal companion to that classic cocktail, as well as a Bloody Mary - or, as the Italians do it, with a nice Spritz. You might even find them good enough to eat straight from the jar.

The company was named after the two founders' great-grandfather, Jack Rudy. His story is entirely true and on the side of their bottle :“Jack Rudy was many things. He was a pilot who illegally flew his plane under the Ohio River Bridge (on a dare), an inventor who created a mechanical device for pharmacists to count pills, and a craftsman who once built a houseboat out of an old city bus. After serving as an aircraft mechanic in WWII, he spent his working life as an engineer. He read Popular Mechanics and National Geographic cover to cover - a curious type who made his own bullets, and shot them into a dirt wall he constructed in his basement. In addition to being a ‘marvelous’ dancer, he LOVED to entertain and was known to overindulge in drink, smoke, and his wife’s gourmet cooking."
