Mantova Whole Castelvetrano Olives in a Mild Brine, 52.91 oz. (3.3 lb.) (Pack of 1), Product of Sicily, Italy, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Cholesterol-Free, Vegan-Friendly, Paleo-Friendly

We ordered these olives in November 2024. They arrived as promised. Today is Feb 17, 2025 and the sealed bag has been in the refrigerator. I opened the bag and distributed the contents to a mason jar and previously used jars with caps. The taste; they are packed in brine, so you could expect them to be slightly salty, they are. Texture is firm YUM ! They are exactly what I hoped they would taste like. Yes, they have pit. I don't mind the pits. I'll buy these again, the price is a fair one.

I am a huge olive fanatic. I can eat thru a little jar from the grocery store in a day or two so I wanted to find a more affordable option and less wasteful option. These are very fresh and tasty—very similar to what I’ve had while in Spain. While some review mention it being too briney, I like savory and salty snacks so I like it. You could siphon off a little brine juice (save for a tasty dirty martini) and add a little water to temper it. That said, I think a good cold water rinse of the olives dished out to eat does the trick for my friends who like less brine flavor. TIP: The bag can be messy and cumbersome so I recycled a large jar from a Costco purchase and it’s perfect. (I was even able to carefully peel the label from the bag and put it on the jar.)

We purchased this item before and really enjoyed it along with our guests. This time there was a really strong tainted taste. We had to throw all of it away. Our guests were not impressed. It was very embarrassing. Will not purchase again!

I’ve had bags that were what I was looking for, firm and not too salty with a buttery flavor. The next order they were too soft.

Absolutely delicious! I purchased the 52oz bag. While there is initial saltiness, once you rinse and drain the olives, they’re just as delicious as they are fresh in Italy. They’re firm, buttery, with a slight sodium undertone. I split them between 4 old olive jars. I left them 3/4 in brine and diluted the remainder with filtered water to thin out the sodium used for transport + preservation.

A bit disappointed with the product, either I didn't read closely enough, or the info wasn't in the add. I thought these were pitted, but they are not, and per the small print must be consumed in 7 days. I may add brine to extend their shelf life. They are not as tasty as what I've purchased at either Costco or through Azure. Will not buy again. The seal was good and no leakage to the delivered product. Color is different from what I've bought before.

Delicious olives.

Exactly as they should be. The salt solution they arrived in is mild and the taste of these olives is superb. Like castelvetrano olives should be, they are quite firm, a nice green color, and the pit has a slight tendency to stick to the flesh when pitting. These are ordinary sized castelvetrano. Larger ones are available at higher cost. I can highly recommend these olives.
