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

Absolutely delicious selection of pitted olives and red peppers in garlic infused olive oil. I use the oil for salad dressing. The best taste I know. Very moreish. Lovely colours. Highly recommended to any olive lovers. Could even convert olive haters who have never tried these.

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.

Tasty, firm and fresh tasting olives. The flavours are well balanced as you can still taste the olives. Good value as they keep well submerged in oil.

Very large jar with very attractive-looking contents 😍. Taste was nice too but realised too late that quantity too much unless used in a 'catering' context. Also found olives to be rather more 'squishy' rather than firm - therefore have used mainly in cooking & taponade. As the jar is SO large ive kept it for weeks in fridge as otherwise shelf life stipulated is really.limited? 🫤

Beautiful accompaniment to pasta and sauce, only downside is occasionally the jugs do leak if put under pressure, and amazon loves to pack heavy stuff in with things like these. Would be good to get a plastic seal on the jar.

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 was not an olive eater; however, after a recent visit to an Italian restaurant in London, I tasted a green olive in a mixture. I was pleasantly surprised, so I purchased these Marinated Pitted Olives. They were very much like what I had tasted in the restaurant, and I stand by my review; there is no bitterness at all, just that lovely marinate from where the olives have been soaked in. All in all, I'd say I am an olive convertee. 🤣
