MOROCCAN OLIVE GROVE, Moroccan Picholine Pitted Olives, 26.28oz (740g), Premium Handpicked and Naturally Cured Olives - Olives Whole without Pits from Morocco - Martini Olives (1 Pack)

Damaged product received

I got these MOROCCAN OLIVE GROVE - Picholine Green Olives for my husband and he likes them. The two glass jars arrived in bubble wrap and were not broken. The olives we received do have the pits in them, but we were able to remove them ourselves easily with a hand tool cherry pitter, though we can also just eat around the pits. My husband enjoyed some of these on his spinach salad last night, adding a bit of salty olive flavor without too much bitterness.

Thought I would be receiving the Green Olives represented on the order page. Received the same brand called Moroccan Olive Grove, same type, but with - Pits. Disappointed (4 Stars) - was expecting pitted which are more convenient and fun to eat. There are 2 jars, product of Morocco, and contain more than just Olives. There's a lemon slice, Laurel (Bay) leaf, garlic, salt, citric acid and water. The Green Olives are called Picholine, and are on the small side which makes it a bit difficult to eat because of that danged pit! The flavor is actually nice with a good balance of ingredients - but was expecting to munch on them right out of the bottle, and not have to deal with spitting out pits! The weight of a bottle is 15.87 oz., different than the listed product. They are good for 2 more years. Refrigerate after opening.

These were very good olives, would be 5 star but the packaging is definitely insufficient for shipping with amazon, just a single layer of bubble wrap. Nothing broke, but one of the jars leaked. Additionally, the listing says the olives are pitted, but I actually received whole olives, with pits. Not sure whose fault that is, and I didn't really care either way, but it could be a problem.
