It's called yellow transparent thyme and I added it to an olive salad I made the other night and was pleasantly surprised. Like you said though, its all in the kind of olives you use. <br /><br />I'll be saving this recipe. It sounds so good!!!

You can bash the olives with the side of your chef's knife too (like you smash garlic).
