Partanna Whole Castelvetrano Olives - Authentic Sicilian - Product Of Italy - Premium Handpicked Imported Italian Olives Great For Every Occasion- 5.5 LB (88oz) Can

These are delicious. I was slightly put off at first as I was with the last type of castelvetrano I tried but you have to expect a difference in olives even within the same type. They weren’t quite as mild and buttery as others but I grew to appreciate them especially for the price. I just separate them into sterilized canning jars with brine for future use. If any olive is too salty just replace a quarter of the brine with fresh water and wait a few days. Adjust to your liking but keep in mind shelf life will be decreased so only do that to what you can eat within a few weeks. Also unpitted olives are alway better if you have the choice and don’t mind pitting.

Last month my wife and I spent two weeks in Italy. With cocktails, it apparently was customary to be provided with a tray of snacks which included Castelvetrano olives. They were delicious! When we got home, I looked for them in the local grocery store and they were expensive! I found these on amazon and the price was very reasonable and I ordered them. First, others commented that their can was dented. Mine was in perfect condition with no dents or dings anywhere. Secondly, though they weren't as large as those we had in Italy, they were just as delicious. They are firm and buttery. And like a potato chip, you can't stop at one! But since they're a healthy snack, that's fine. So glad I took a shot at them. By the way, these are the whole olives with pits so maybe that's why they are nicely firm versus the reviews of the pitted ones where some complained of those being soggy.

Like the title says, these are the best Castelvetrano olives I’ve ever had. I could even drink the brine. They are smooth, nutty, crisp yet tender, and perfectly salty. If someone says they don’t like olives, they simply haven’t tried these yet. The giant can, when divided, fits perfectly into five take-out soup containers, which I also bought on here. I will never buy another brand, so I hope this company never goes out of business. Even though there are about 500 olives in this can, it doesn’t seem to be enough 😉PS-the first can was severely dented from shipping (not the manufacturer’s fault, of course) and Amazon immediately sent a replacement. GREAT product support.

I ate these delicious Castelvetrano olives at a restaurant in LA and have been hooked on them since then! They are so good and so fresh! I first introduced them to my fiancé who HATES olives, but after trying these , he's a fan now (I do add some sumac, lemon pepper and fennel pollen to the olives to make it a little fancier for him). My family and friends have also tried them and now request it at dinner parties. Had to change my monthly subscription to receive them bi-monthly now lol I won't lie I was really worried about the can being delivered dented, but so far so good! I'm on my 3rd shipment and haven't had an issue yet hopefully I won't jinx myself.

Though the label on the can indicated the olives to be whole they were pitted. This was the case with two different orders.

These are the Partanna Castelvetrano Olives I fell in love with years ago, last time I bought them they were a tad bitter, these are perfect.Some, haven't finished them all yet, are a bit squishy, most are firm and flavorful

REAL Italian olives with an outstanding taste. If you like green olives, give these Partanna Premium Select Castelvetrano Whole Olives a try, you will be in love. These olives are far superior to anything you get from regular grocery stores. I'm Italian and I can tell you that no olive even begins to come close to the flavor.They are buttery, smooth, and full bodied flavored. I am addicted to these olives. The taste is so good, they stand alone as a delicious snack. Perfect for antipasti, too. As soon as this huge beautiful colorful can of olives arrive, I cannot wait to get the can open. I fill a huge bowl, drizzle the olives with Partanna olive oil and I can taste Italy. I even mix a bit of brine from these olives with olive oil, Italian spices, cracked pepper, and minced garlic, and it makes a delicious salad dressing, or a wonderful dip for warm crusty bread. They are my new favourite crave.The Partanna Olive Oil is simply the best, also. I am a loyal Partanna customer for many years. And I would be an Amazon customer for these olives and Partanna olive oil alone. Yes, they are truly THAT good!Il sole e il gusto dell'Italia. Buon appetito!

We love these olives so much! We had been buying the small jars at the grocery store, but there's maybe one evening's worth of olives for almost 1/2 what we paid for this giant can! It takes us a couple of months to get through these, and they take up a lot of space in the refrigerator (we live in Southern CA, so it's warm and these get a slightly funky smell to them if they sit on the counter for more than a week or two. They still taste fine, but we like them fresher!)The olives are big, juicy, and have their pits which we prefer as they are a little less salty, and less soggy that way. So versatile! we snack on them, use them in recipes and drinks. We bought an olive / cherry pitter so when we need them pitted we can do it quickly.Overall, these are the best value and the best olives! You won;t be sorry if you order them! (unless you have no where to store a giant can of olives!)
