Tintolive

Tintolives were a type of food that grew on the tintolive trees found on the Core Worlds planet Chandrila. They were an ingredient in a Chandrilan Cheese Board, a dish that showcased the flavors of Chandrila. After making a culinary tour of the galaxy between 34 ABY and 35 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a Chandrilan Cheese Board recipe in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY. The recipe called for tintolives plucked from the trees that lined the crystalline cliffs north of Hanna City, capital of Chandrila; however, Tuggs encouraged readers to change out what ingredients were included on the board to prevent diners from tiering of it and did not picture tintolives in the Chandrila Cheese Board imagery in the book.

Tintolives were mentioned in the 2023 cookbook Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, which was authored by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for Chandrilan Cheese Board, in which tintolives are used, includes green olives as the real-world equivelant. The term tintolive was first used in the Star Wars Legends continuity in Greg Keyes' 2001 novel The New Jedi Order: Edge of Victory II: Rebirth; however, in that continuity it was only ever used as part of the name of the tintolive tree rather than as a distinct concept.
