TRACY, Calif., June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For the millions of people navigating cooking and eating at home in this new normal, Pearls® Olives and a handful of influential chefs are here to help. Launching today, National Olive Day, the new #DreamOlive initiative features chefs dreaming up recipes and ideas using olives – considered by many a perfect pantry item given their snackability, versatility, flavor, health attributes and ability to easily enhance just about any dish.
