Turkish Black Olives, Olive Brine, Healthy Snacks, 28.2 oz

I had a hankering for black olives, ideally ones that were oil-cured. These are not oil-cured, but have some of the flavor elements of oil-cured olives that I am fond of. They are really quite large, and that makes for a very meaty olive.I have so far used them for salads and just for snacking, but I can envision them going into a pasta dish before I place my next order. I think they are wonderful olives, highly recommend them, and expect to be buying them again. Relative to prices for similar olives at local stores, these are a bargain with the added benefit of delivery to your door.As a note, more to Amazon or whoever provides the pricing information, someone should fix the information. If a single unit is $13.79, then it makes no sense that a 10-pack would be $777. Amazon has countless examples of such pricing errors, and no matter how many times you point them out, the information never gets fixed.

This is what I call olives. Astonishing!

Please compare apples with apples. Black Olive is not Kalamata olive or Kalamata style olive. Kalamata Olive is a type of olive that grows around the city of Kalamata in Greece, Golcuk, Karamursel. Gebze, and Bursa in Turkey. Kalatamata Olive is meatier and low in fat. Kalamata style, is a type of process where the olives are sliced on both side and kept in vine vinegar for a couple of days then given some additional flavor with lemon juice and olive oil. Black Olive is the same olive as Green Olive. Green is the color of the olive that is picked when the olive is not completely mature. When the Olive is mature, it color turns black. Kalamata Olive, Green Olive, and Black Olive, they all taste different. This product is Back Olive. As being someone who grew up eating Black Olive, I can tell that it's a good and the value for price is excellent. Are they better Black Olives? Yes. Of course. However, they are harder to find and they are more expensive. Like everything else when you look for one step one.

These olives' taste is excellent. They are not very salty, and they have a great flavor. I use them mainly for cooking, but you could have a snack right out of the bag. Price is fair. Mind you they are not pitted, which is not possible for these type of olives.I give them 4 stars because they are a bit small. Once open you have to put them in a container, because they come in a blister packaging.Bear in mind these olives have a different taste and texture compared to the regular olives that come in a brine solution.These have a slightly dehydrated look, and a fresh and oily natural flavor.

I love oil cured olives so when I saw this value price I ordered it immediately. It came as expected. I cut open the package wanting to just test some to see if it was too salty in which case I would wash them. BUT there was no salt, in fact no flavor of anything. It was absolutely totally unequivocally the worst I olives I've ever eaten. Completely BLAND, NO flavor. Even mushy So I transferred them to good container put some olive oil on it put in the fridge hoping that this will help. I do not have any hopes. I wish I could return it .Update: two days after receiving this I posted a notice to the seller via Amazon's system, telling him of my experience and hoping I could return it or at least get a refund. Well within 24 hours I got a response from them informing me that they will refund my money. And the very next day Amazon posted a refund. That is fantastic customer service. Yes!I did not have to return the item. Great customer serviceOne further point I offer them to some other people and no one would eat them.If I could give it a minus rating I would do itI did soak it in olive oil to see if that would help – well it actually made it even worse brought out the extreme bitter flavor. As I could not return this I contacted the seller through the Amazon help and told them all about my experience. Hoping maybe for a refund. Well I'll tell you they did respond within 24 hours. That was quite amazing they said simply we are sorry for your experience and we will refund you completely, no need to return items.Within 24 hours I received notification from Amazon that there is a refund being deposited, by the seller. Very impressive. The olives are still crap

In the past I've purchased the 2XS olives, those were excellent as well. I guess I did expect these to be a little bigger, but that's not a big deal. They are significantly different than the smaller olives, they've got more texture. A little meatier, firmer, and it seems to me a more complex taste. You will need to have a container ready to move them into; their packaging doesn't come with its own lid. I was able to fit the contents of the package into two mason jars: a four-cup and a two-cup.I personally would say they taste like oil cured black olives, different than any other type of olive I've tried, but I had my brother try some and he said they taste like green olives, and now I can see the resemblance. They do sort of taste like your standard brine cured green olive, but much more mellow and far superior. I'd say somewhat less salty. Overall, like I said, excellent.

I normally have four or five kinds of olives open in my refrigerator at any time, from Morocco, France, Greece, and elsewhere around the Mediterranean. These Turkish black olives are probably my favorite of all of them. Great to eat as they are, and great cooked in everything from Moroccan tagines to Georgian lamb stews. They hang together well when cooked, and don’t get mushy or fall apart. The oil content is just right, as far as I am concerned, they taste great, and it’s rare to find one that hasn’t been cured correctly. They are packed up in a half dozen sizes, and in vacuum packed plastic tubs and in plastic canisters without brine. I can’t imagine getting tired of them; they have been a staple ingredient in my kitchen for a quarter of a century.

Everything about these olives was fine, except they were very small. I knew I was taking a gamble when I purchased them because I could not find the size of the olive written anywhere when I was choosing them to purchase. If they'd been advertised as small, and I'd decided to purchase them anyway, I'd rate them with five stars.These olives were ordered because they were supposed to be large. They are NOT. The advertising photo tricks you to think that thay are large. Very disappointed with this type of behaviors. HOWEVER, as a Turk, I am happy with the quality and taste. Very good.

İyi paketlenmiş.

This olives taste awful, extremely sour and acidic. A few minutes after eating it, I had a tummy upset. I will not be purchasing this again. Disappointed!....
