I can't vouch for all of them, but I've had them from a few both in Canada and the US.

The same ones mentioned by cubbie; manzanilla olives.

Even if they are not stuffed with them, these olives are usually prepared with a brine flavoured with anchovies.

I've mainly used Kalamatas for Greek style salads and my favourite snack, bread slices dipped in olive oil and oregano, then devour...eaten with chunks of feta cheese and olives.

What would the experts recommend to have with the various Spanish (and Portuguese?) olives? Serve them with cured meats, cheese, in salads?

My personal favorites are the cured black olives with rosemary and garlic.
