Black Olive Crackers


Cloudy

In the most sensible-looking box, black, with safe legible fonts, it looks alright like any other. However as one encounters it a couple more times, the stacks get fishy and more dubious, biscuits of bizarre-looking colour. And to cross-refer with textual evidence, yes, they are actually black olive crackers.


Mondovino Morrocan Black Olive Crackers (SGD 5.50)

Made with extra virgin olive oil. One's eyes draw into the window of crackers, realizing it is actually a containment of a glass bottle. The background is a bed of hand-drawn olives. Suddenly, one becomes less ignorant. The {black olive}s made from extra-virgin olive oil, (just like pasta made from extra-virgin olive oil; fried chicken made from extra-virgin olive oil), olive oil's made from these crackers in the 1st place- the black olive!


Which explains the beauty of these black head-turners, crackers (black olives) made from their own oil- the olive oil! There are chopped olives and olive puree inside these crackers, making them arguably black, as we cannot talk ourselves out that black-olives should be a separate term.


Standing-out on the plates in their complexions, their texture is earthy like thick, chunky tofu. However an invigorating flavour of wine comes to you later defining the olives, together with the stinging nettles of seasalt. This is the most natural flavour I have ever tasted for crackers.

P.S. Not many things in this world is black. But sometimes, under the fall of the text, I can{so well}be convinced.
