Marinated Pitted Olives - Bella Napoli - Net 1.5KG [800 Gr Ndw] (1.5Kg)

The 'jar' is actually made of plastic but that was OK. I was surprised at how many olives are in a 1.5kG jar. It arrived on time and I ate a handful with tonight’s mixed salad. They were good. Note that the oil they are submerged in is mostly rapeseed oil. Nothing wrong with that and surplus oil can be drained off back into the container if you use a slotted spoon. You need the container to retain enough oil to submerge the remaining contents. The olives are supplied with a little widget to help keep them submerged. Make sure you replace it. Dress your salad with your own good quality olive oil. They will keep for months in the fridge as the rapeseed oil will protect them. In summary, a great price and decent quality but it's going to take ages to get through them all.

Quality, love them. Some folk may find the slight vinegary flavour there off putting but fine with us.

Fantastic product.Absolutely gorgeous olivesDelivered quicklyVery pleasedThank you

I eat these as a treat. Or with a sandwich. Or as a salad. There appetising and would think good for ones daily fibre. Nice and colourful. .Not expensive. Bought some green ones. In.a supermarket but awfully tuff to eat..loved these and naturally would purchase again..

I opened the outer plastic covering and was assaulted by a strong, unpleasant smell (apologies, but it smelled acidic, almost loose faecal). There was oil all around the top of the container. I decanted everything into sterile glass containers because the supplied container is too big to fit in my fridge and the kitchen remained smelly for a couple of hours. Some of the olives are mushy, some very hard but most taste very bitter. I though I had found anchovies in the marinade, complete with small bones but it may just be some unidentifiable grey stuff plus short, spiky, fibrous plant material.I have gone back and tasted them twice and they remain horrible. You can''t return them, by the way. I really wish that I had paid full price for proper, tasty olives rather than thinking these cheap ones would be OK.

I soaked it in water for a couple of hours and even then it still tasted a bit too vinegary to me. Otherwise it looked good but I'd not but it again.

I like the mix of different varieties of olives! It tastes very nice and far cheaper than supermarkets!I’ll definitely buy again once I run out.I recommend this product

Given the price of smaller batches of olives these turn out to be quite good value, and are a good mixed of olives. I probably use more olives per portion now as they're so easy just to spoon a lump on.
