Before serving your festive dinner, offer your guests marinated olives with cheese and chorizo pieces, accompanied by a glass of white wine. This snack contains three types of olives, small balls of mozzarella, and Spanish Manchego cheese. It's best to marinate the mixture the night before so the olives and cheese can infuse the flavors of garlic, rosemary, orange zest, and sherry vinegar. Just before serving, add diced chorizo to the mixture. Be sure to have a container of skewers or toothpicks nearby.
