If you like dolmades like I do, these are probably what you're looking for. The rice stuffing is tender, but not mushy. The wrappers are also tender and not tough to the bite like some other brands. I've not encountered any thick stems either. Nice flavors and seasoning throughout the stuffing, with the lemon, dill, mint, and onion perfectly balanced.
Some people have asked about freezing them. To that I would say I don't recommend it. They will still be edible, but definitely lose something. After thawing, the rice will be noticeably watery and takes on a grainy quality. They are clearly better having not been frozen.
In comparison to other brands, Divina stands out as a higher quality product than a competing brand like Galil. In addition to Divina, I've tried Galil and one other brand (which I don't remember now). Compared to Divina, Galil is drier and the rice is less seasoned. It seems the flavor is mostly in the wrapper, not the stuffing. It also seems like the wrapper is tougher and often has thick stems. I would put it in terms of wine. If it's just you eating them at home, Galil might be your table wine. Fine if you're not super picky. Divina would be a nice bottle wine that you'd serve to guests.
One other thing I will mention based on other reviews. Yes, this 70 oz. can is from Bulgaria and the 7 oz. can is from Greece. One review said they could tell a difference. I however, could not. Both seem to be consistent in taste and quality.
I will definitely order these again.

Customer reviews
I ate two right out of the can! YUM!
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2019
These taste EXACTLY like the ones that I get at the Greek restaurants and at Sprouts. They are about 35-40% cheaper than the “by the pound” price at Sprouts and I’m sure significantly cheaper than getting them at the restaurant. They have a slight aluminum can aftertaste, but not bad. My can consisted of 64 dolma. I wish I had bought some of these sooner!
