Auzoud Oil-Cured Black Olives, Whole, Supports North African Women Farmers, 100% Natural, Hand-Picked, 4.4 lb.

"Salty" is a very individual thing, which is why I did not pay much attention to reviews that also stated they At least once, I was willing to give them a try considering how much I get for the price. Although they are likewise salty, we have purchased two other brands of dried olives from Peru, and they are quite palatable right out of the package regardless of their saltiness. We need to soak these Morroccan olives in water overnight, drain them, and then resoak them overnight for us to be able to use them. Then they are not very different from the American fake black olives that you buy in cans after they are soaked for so long. My children and I enjoy the chewy consistency of dried olives which is a result of soaking and draining them in water and then putting them in the microwave for a few seconds to melt the olive oil that had congealed on the outside of each olive. In comparison to the pitted black olives mentioned above, these olives have pits, although even with the added weight of the pits, we are still able to afford them for those of us who are true black olive addicts. Until the olives are gone, which should be a long time since the package holds so many, we will continue to use them. The fact that I supported North African women farmers with my purchase makes me feel good, however, I doubt I will buy.

Because we typically eat olives, cheese, and crackers for lunch, we buy a lot of high-quality olives. The dried olives are a different brand than I usually buy, but I decided to give them a try. This was very good. It was soft and had a lot of meat on it. When you first start eating dried olives you might be put off by the salt and texture, but learn which sort of olive you prefer. Castelvetrano olives are a more traditional and excellent olive. Always buy pitted olives if you really love them as they lose the most.

If not, it will not matter. Every day, I eat these as a snack. For all the people who threw away their bags because they thought they tasted strange, people, these are the way olives are supposed to taste. The ones you are used to are brined, which makes the olive taste bitter and stiff. It is nothing like the real thing. Wrinkly olives are said to be characteristic of cured olives as well. The Sunfood brand I tried was not as good as these.

It was absolutely stunning. The negative reviews indicate that the people offering them only have a limited degree of experience. The meat is meaty and bold, and the salt is salty, but this is dense. Short answer, exactly what you want from an olive cured with oil. Much meatier and plumper than I had These are the best olives I've ever tasted. I am eager to make olive pesto or olive walnut tapenade from these! If you use these in a recipe, there will be no need to add salt because salt is already present. Have you had too much salt? In general, if you don't know what you're buying, it might be tricky. I was even more pleased with these than I expected. That its a great business model as well. I'm very glad. The next time I visit their store is to buy their capers and harissa!.

It is not as salty as some of the Moroccan dried olives I have eaten. Priced well. Comes in a poly bag sealed with a vacuum pump You will need to prepare to use olives on a daily basis because they will not fit in the bag. My experience with this brand of bulk black olives was the best quality, best quality I have found on Amazon over 4 different bulk purchases I have made over the last As these black olives with pits have a strong flavor, I prefer to eat them separately rather than adding them to salads or casseroles or filling them up with other ingredients that they could easily overwhelm!.

Although I cannot say for sure if this is the intention, these olives appeared to have Despite their appearance, they tasted like alcohol and gave you the familiar burn associated with spirits evaporating into the ether when consumed. The experience is unpleasant. Pungent and a bit disgusting, the taste was rather strong. It does not matter if a substance is pungent in and of itself. It was unexpected, though, that my olives would contain alcohol. This will be the last time we buy these.

We are confident that you will be satisfied. Olives from Morocco that are perfect. The lemon chicken was tasty, and I liked it less salty than I expected. That's better than the dried up ones you find in the deli or at the grocery store. The people of Morocco are very important to my mom. This is a very nice and versatile olive. I also love the fact that these olives have been grown and prepared by women, giving them an I will be purchasing again in the near future. This is one book you won't want to miss. I was pleased with the packaging since there were In addition, I did not receive any kind of discount or reward for this Customer just happy to do business with you.

It's great to have these olives! I feel so fortunate to have found these authentic tasting olives after my family traveled to Morocco last May and were served olives at every meal, including breakfast. I miss those olives and am grateful to have found these. There is salt in them It is true that they are wrinkled. The way they should be is that way. Watching the women at the Argan oil center make oil with those nuts at the women's cooperative was an educational experience for us. The women who work with these olives deserve support and I am happy to do so! As part of an appetizer plate (cheese, eggplant, peppers), olives add a touch of richness to a glass of wine. Plus, there is no added sugar, fat, or salt. There are only three ingredients in these olives oil, salt, and olives. So healthy.
