1
Cook garlic in 2 tablespoons oil in a small heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 30 seconds.

4
Add garlic, garlic oil, remaining 1/2 cup olive oil, remaining 1/4 cup vinegar, spices, bay leaves, zests, and olives and bring to a simmer.
5
Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool to warm.
6
Marinate olives, covered and chilled, at least 24 hours.
7
If desired, reheat in saucepan over low heat, stirring until warm.

Transfer with a slotted spoon to a serving dish.
