Olive Paste and Blue Cheese Canapi image

(Canapi De Pasta De Aceituna Negra Y Queso Cabrales)Note: This paste of black olives, garlic, and pine nuts is a lovely complement to a robust blue cheese, such as the outstanding Cabrales from Asturias in northern Spain. The black olives must be cured to give the proper flavor.
