 Couldn't open the jar?Jun 27, 2010
The guy who couldn't open the jar? That was the funniest review I've ever read on Amazon. Thanks for making my day. Oh, yeah, and these were good olives, but you don't have to go to Amazon to get them. Search for a store in your neighborhood...

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.

Olive reviewJun 22, 2008
Good but not AS good as when purchased in a store where they have been under constant refrigeration. Not widely available so this may be your only source for this WONDERFUL variety of olives.

 Green Olives - UnopenableDec 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.
