 fresh crisp olivesMay 30, 2009
These olives are excellent. So this is what a fresh olive is like!
Supermarket olives will treat you to strong vinegar and salt flavor. These Cerignola olives will treat you to the taste of olives. All three colors are firmer than anything I ever got from a supermarket canned olive product.
Green: Bright natural green color, looks like a fresh-picked olive. Very firm texture, you get the full olive fruit taste, and its a hint tarter than red.
Red: Bright red is softer than green, with an almost buttery olive flavor, smooth and dreamy texture.
Black: This one is about as firm as red and has a kinda nutty and a bit stronger olive taste than red.
Packaging: The olives came in clear plastic jars that were easy to open by hand without using any special tools. Each plastic jar was also plastic-wrapped. After removal of plastic wrap, one jar was slightly moist around the lid, but no spillage of liquid at all occurred and the rest of the jar was dry on the outside. It appears (and I don't know for certain) as if the olives were packed to order from a deli, not factory packed.
I was very happy with the taste of these olives and will purchase them again. They are also very pretty when all three colors are in a bowl, and would make a great holiay or party appetizer.

Picture perfect olivesSep 07, 2008
I just had to let any cerignola olive fan out there know that I am super satisfied with this product. Not only was their shipping super fast, but there are plenty of meaty olives to be found in their (easy to open) container. I lived in Eastern Europe for a couple of years and I practically lived off cerignola olives. If you can't find them where you live, you should give these a try. The little bit of extra shipping is worth it.

 Black Olives - Unopenable JarDec 18, 2007
The lid on the plastic jar was on so tight that neither my wife or myself was able to unscrew it. The olives sure looked good but we couldn't get at them. I would not buy again from this seller until they find a new way of packaging.
