Mezzetta Castelvetrano Green Italian Olives, Pitted, 8 Ounce

You can make these taste like expensive olives from an olive bar. Get some sunflower oil. Drain the liquid from these olives, and then replace it with the sunflower oil. Ta-da, tastes just like olive bar olives, especially after it sits for a couple of hours. I discovered this years ago (pre-pandemic) when an enterprising Amazon shopper kindly substituted these when the olive bar olives were out of stock. This was many years ago, before Amazon came up the the idea of letting you pick your substitution. I’m so very grateful to that shopper.

Excellent! Running out of stock tho. :(

I suppose if I must have an addiction, it might as well be to Castelvetrano olives. The best olives I have ever had. Beyond snacking on, they’re great stuffed for martinis. Blue cheese, Brie mixed with blue cheese, or your favorite. The list is endless.

Heard about these olives on a cooking show and decided to try them. They are good, but I am unsure when I will use them other than as a snack. Flavor-wise, they taste like mild Manzanilla olive and a canned black olive combined. Relatively mild - the vinegar flavor is less than a green olive. There is a buttery aftertaste. In general, I think I prefer stronger olives. If you need a mild olive, something stronger than a canned black olive, this would be perfect

Never heard of these types of olives until this year. Actually ordered them accidentally, been getting them since. I am admittedly a huge olive lover but these have a very distinct flavor in a class of their own. They are still briny but the main flavor I'd say is almost buttery. They are great for salads, snacks (especially if you do the keto or any low carb diet), and a charcuterie board.
