Serve with slices of crusty French bread, toasted baguette, or your favorite crackers.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
If you can't find Kalamata olives, other brine-cured black olives will work well.
Consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving for an extra layer of sweetness and tang.
To make it easier to serve, you can use a block of goat cheese instead of a log.
