Cracked olives are olives that have been cracked open before the curing process to intensify and accelerate the development of flavor. When looking for olives that will be most similar to those used in these recipes, try to find cracked green olives that have been grown in the Middle East. They can be found at specialty stores like Sahadi’s or Kalustyan’s in NYC.
