Divina, Olives Pitted Castelvetrano, 4.9 Ounce

love these olives. I used to be able to buy in store, but the store stopped carrying them

I intended to serve these to three serious martini drinkers. When I tried an olive from the jar I was horrified. Ever had a fresh castelvetrano olive in its own brine ? . I figured this special jarred brine might be nicer, it was so lauded, that the company must have a way of keeping the olive texture intact but boy was I wrong. These were awful! .. Olives were flaccid, mushy, soggy and no distinct flavor. The brine was tasty, but it destroyed the texture of the pitted olive in processing-- the olive lost all of its texture and olive flavor, it was just some unidentifiable soft vegetable matter in brine. Not like an olive . So I threw the jar out and went out looking for fresh castelvetrano olives and pitted them myself. A lot of work, but so worth it. These in the jar are unusable. They cost twice as much as fresh, and are so soggy and flaccid, with no flavor or texture. Not edible. Even if you don't live in a big city like I do, you should be able to get good olives at a decent market. Don't ruin a good Martini with these! Awful, a waste of money

Absolutely The Best tasting olive-ever. Probably an excellent martini olive, I just find it hard to not enjoy this all by itself. Only negative thing about this product, jar could be a little bigger.

They are nice Olives, but not the best I have had. Texture seemed a little immature.

Yummy!

Worst olive ever. Zero taste and much smaller than they appear. Overpriced. Local store had for 1/2 price.

Average Olives. Nothing Special and Expensive

My wife was looking for a good martini olive and I found these listed in a review / list of olives supposedly good for martinis. Her verdict? They are terrible, not good, waste of money. They also are not tasty to eat on their own so ended up dumping the remaining jar.

Tener un lugar donde conseguir aceitunas italianas, es muy agradable. Tardan en entregar, pero vale la pena.
