Deli Fresh Oil Cured Olives, 2lb Dr.Wt.

Since the pandemic, we have not been able to travel to the international gourmet store where we buy Moroccan oil-cured olives and other items. I was happy to find these at Amazon. While they are not exactly the same as our usual olives (they have a bit more of a tang, probably because of less salt) they are very good. They have a smooth, but meaty texture, a deep, non-bitter flavor and the seeds help them keep their shape. Will be buying more of these as long as the pandemic is on.

I love the Moroccan dried oiled olives but these are not quite the same. They are larger and don't appear to have ever been dried. They are also more bitter but less salty. This being said, they are not terrible either. I followed the instructions of another reviewer and rinsed them off, them placed them in a jar and covered them with olive oil. They are good for snacks but just not quite the same.As for shipping, I ordered them on a Thursday and received them on the following Monday. Very fast shipping. I did not pay extra for this. They were shipped Priority Mail in a bubble envelope, then in another bubble envelope inside, then in plastic envelope. Some leakage but not a problem.Overall, not a bad value and I will use them for sure.

Delivered to your mailbox during these crazy quarantine times, this is a great value! What price tasty snacks without having to go to the store and brave the hordes of contagious shoppers? And this is a good stash of olives that will last you a few weeks. I threw away all the packaging immediately, and dumped them into a big plastic container to keep in the fridge.These are not what I would call highest-quality fancy deli olives -- they're kind of grade B+, and yet I was completely happy with them! Recommended!

I've had a hard time consistently sourcing oil-cured olives locally, so thought I'd give these a shot. Very good, meaty, and consistent. They'd make great tapenade, and a few on top of a pizza or in puttanesca are excellent. Good value!

Wrapped well. Olives arrived in 2 containers. Wrapped in a plastic bag first, then inside a plastic container with snap on lid. Olives were tasty. Not too salty. Actually I prefer them a little saltier. With that said, i liked the Cento brand in a glass jar better. But all in all these were “meaty” and tasty.

These are the best olives I've tasted in years. They're slightly larger than the dried olives and for my money they are tastier too. (and i like the dried olives too)

I make a pizza with carmelized onions and these olives. My Dad made them on Fridays because they are vegetarian. These were great and fresh and delicious. Anyone who wants this Italian and Greek traditional olive should go to this vendor. Very very very pleased.

Disappointed. Seemed to have an underlying bitter taste. Just not as good as some other brands of oil cured olives I have eaten in the past.
