Olive loaf is a type of meatloaf or cold cut embedded with pimento-stuffed green olives[1][2][3][4][5] similar to the Italian sausage meat mortadella. The deli meat—typically a mixture of beef and pork, though chicken has been used by meat producers such as Oscar Mayer, with spices such as mace, coriander and pepper—is often made by mixing green olives into milk powder before mixing it into the meat. Green olives are used as black ones would tend to bleed into the meat.[6]
