  4. Add ground jowls and other ingredients to the ground lean meats.
  5. Emulsify to 58°F in a food processor or chopper.

What kind of meat is Olive Loaf?

Most often Olive Loaf is made with beef and pork, but can also be made with chicken and turkey. It’s blended with green olives (not black olives because of firmness and aesthetic appeal). The loaf preparation is same as bologna loaf but can have a different taste depending on the spices used.
