Moroccan olives are by far my favorite, but finding them usually requires an hour of driving. These are identical to the ones I buy at the market, but at a fraction of the cost, and they're a little salty, as some have noted. Simply repackage them to avoid this. I put them in mason jars and poured extra virgin olive oil over them. They'll calm down after a day. They should last for several months if kept in the refrigerator.
I'm not sure how we ended up with whole olives instead of pitted oil cured olives; we were looking for pitted olives.

They're being thrown out. The first order of these olives was extremely satisfying and delectable. This second order, on the other hand, is far too briny. What happened, I'm not sure.

I'm a self-confessed salt addict who used to buck hay in long sleeve shirts uphill in the Central Valley of California in the summer, and these olives hit the spot. When working in a hot environment, one craves a deep, rich flavor, a nice chewy texture, and a sprinkling of salt. br>br>So, if you don't plan on bucking hay today, could you at least enjoy these Mediterranean (from Morocco) morsels?

If you're unfamiliar with this type of product, I hope this review clears things up for you. If you've eaten these things before, you can trust this company and product.
