Villaggio Bread with Olives and Cheese Got a breadmaker?  Great!  Then ring the changes – by adding in some olives (stoned) and a good helping of grated parmesan. Also try: Olives and tomato puree, Olives and fried garlic. Olives and Feta Cheese And olives with pesto is delicious too. Remember to check your recipe/instruction book

Villaggio Olive Salad Add a handful of black olives and crumble some Feta cheese into chopped fresh tomatoes, cubed cucumbers and some sliced spring onions.  It becomes a great staple summer dish, though we cannot work out if it’s supposed to be called a Greek Salad or a Shopska Salad – guess many other countries

Villaggio Tuna and Olive Toasties Arrange some grated cheese and a few thinly sliced black olives onto a slice of bread, and grill for a few seconds until the cheese melts and turns light browh.  Drain and mash up a tin of tuna with some mayo, and a few sliced black olives.  Assemble your toastie
