Fishing the last olives out of a jar with a fork splashes brine on the counter. Norpro’s olive spoon has a long, narrow bowl that reaches to the bottom of a tall jar, and drain holes in the bowl let the brine run back in before the olives reach the plate.
At 7 inches long, it suits the narrow necks of olive and pickle jars, and it doubles as a serving spoon on a cheese or antipasto board. Use it for maraschino cherries and cocktail onions at the bar, or to lift pearl onions and small tomatoes out of a marinade.
The spoon is stainless steel, so brine will not stain or corrode it. It makes a small, useful gift with a jar of good olives. For other serving and prep tools, see the Norpro grapefruit knife and the wood citrus reamer for cocktails, or keep a stack of Norpro wax paper squares for wrapping cheese from the board.
