Since 1989, Sand City, California-based Gil's Gourmet has been producing some of the most unusual and interesting gourmet and specialty foods that can be found anywhere.  Founder Gil Tortolani's love of fiery foods is evident with these truly unique Habanero Stuffed Olives.  (Habanero Peppers are among the hottest peppers on the planet.  As such, only those who really enjoy hot and spicy foods should be brave enough to try them!)  Each Habanero Stuffed Olive is created by hand, with a generous chunk of habanero pepper filling the pitted olive.  For those who can appreciate "killer hot", these are an absolute "must try".  For those not quite so "adventurous", we suggest one of Gil's other delicious flavors of olives.

When the founders of Gil's Gourmet, Gil and Dylan Tortolani, set out to create the perfect martini olive, they took their task very, very seriously.  First, they selected only the highest quality California pitted jumbo green olives.  Then they hand stuffed these specialty olives with pimento.  Next, they took a specially marinated lemon peel that they had been experimenting with, twisted it around the olive and then skewered it with a toothpick to hold it in place.  Their efforts were well worth it.  The result is unique in the olive world - no one else is patient enough to create such a work of art!  The whole condiment is edible (with the exception of the toothpick of course!) and it makes the perfect martini.  If your clients are looking for something truly special for their next martini, you can certainly advise them that they need look no further!
