Olive, Antipasti and Cheese Pairings


The Lady gets lots of requests for pairings of cheese with olives and other antipasti items sold on the Olive Bars at Kroger, Murray’s Shops in Kroger Stores and Fred Meyer Cheese Kiosks and Delis. With guidance from Divina Olives, the Lady designed this chart for ease in pairing cheese with your favorite items on the olive bar to create a healthy antipasti platter.
