Olives arrived intact, they are in a plastic barrel like container not a bag. They are delicious I am happy with the transaction.

Well, there is still plenty of these tasty morsels left and they're well preserved in this sturdy, tightly-lidded tub. There is no doubt that this is an amazing value. Olive lovers unite and share; those with cavernous fridges can rest assured of a never-ending personal supply.

Olives are tasty and an excellent value. The jug, however, can leak a bit if laid on its side - in other words, it really needs to be shipped "This End Up", but it's
not. Mine arrived with some olive brine leaked into the box and onto the book I ordered at the same time. Nothing catastrophic and the olives were fine, and the damage to the book wasn't worth fussing over...but if you want anything else besides olives I recommend putting the olives on their own order.

These are just as good as any other kalamata olives I've bought at the store, and SO much cheaper! I only wish they came pre-sliced, but hey, I'll take them. It takes me maybe a year to eat them all, but they last great. Will be buying again soon!

I have bought other olives from Amazon that came in a big plastic bag and I think I preferred the flavor of those. While these olives are good, there is something a little off about the flavor. Before using I find that if I rinse off the brine they taste better. I do like that they are pitted - it makes adding olives to just about anything very easy.

A little salty (as Kalamatas can be); but otherwise excellent.

These are perfect for our use; we make Olive Tapenade (with black beans) and occasionally eat a few as a snack.

In the past we had to manually pit the Kalamatas for our Tapenade.

Highly recommend!

Great value, great taste as well. A large improvement over the Roland Kalamata sourced from Turkey. The small price difference well worth the improved flavor, less salty brine, firmer and more uniform olives; this competes with the Peloponnese brand, and ships in much handier canister. Great for making your own tapenade. Not the largest olive size, but acceptable, with a winning flavor. Will buy again and easily recommend.

The best olives I have ever tried. No pits means more food. Thank you Amazon Prime.

These are the best olives ever! The price is excellent and having them delivered to the door is an added bonus. I order every three to four months and am very pleased with speediness and consistancy of product!

These olives are too salty for me, but my husband and neighbors, love them. Very different, salty and oily. Very Greek I suppose.
