Natural Zing Organic Peruvian Black Olives | Dried Olives, Pitted for a Convenient Healthy Snack Alternative | Aji Spice | Naturally Fermented & Organic | 8 oz Bag

great buy and very nice taste enjoyed these a lot

Cram packed with flavor and super juicy. Best to pair with other foods like meats and cheeses.

These olives are moist, plump, fresh, savory and delicious !They were well packed and arrived in great condition.There was a bit of a wait for them to get here, but it was well worth it!

Not worked the money. Overpriced. Similar at the Arabian store are $3.29 never ever going to order onother item from them. Base on the price is like more then 0.50 C a olive .

Years ago there were olives from Peru called Botija sun-cured olives that had no added salt, and Natural Zing was one distributor of them. They were unique because, apparently, the oleuropein that gives fresh olives their intense bitter taste was almost entirely gone by the time these olives dropped from the tree and dried to the point where they wouldn't spoil. All other olives I have found have been cured by leaching the oleuropein out with brine or with dilute sodium hydroxide solution - the latter process gives us the common, mild-flavored pizza olives sold in cans. So finding an olive that is neither very salty or that is not a pizza olive has been impossible except for this one line of olive, that has apparently struggled to stay on the market because of the high price ($30-$40/pound) and the fact that most, but definitely not all, people can taste the bitter residual oleuropein, which spoils their culinary experience.I had hoped that these olives were the ones described above, but with a "touch of sea salt" and containing only the very small amount of oil naturally present in the above kind of olive, which seems most closely related to the low-oil Sevillano variety of olive. What I received was a bag of mushy, intensely salty olives, almost as salty as the notorious Moroccan variety, packed in excess oil that wets the bag. Although the ingredients list says "wildcrafted dried botija olives, sea salt", I doubt that the amount of oil in the product can be accounted for by the olives alone, particularly the low-oil variety I am familiar with receiving as Peruvian Botija olives.The bottom line is, as an olive connoisseur, I don't like the flavor of this particular product at all and would not recommend it, especially for this price.

Love that these are all natural! Natural Zing has so many great high quality products!

I purchased these olives because one reviewer said they weren't as salty as some other brand. Anyway, I don't usually use salt in food, so that being said I am very sensitive to salt. I had to rinse the olives in water and soak them in water. After all that they still tasted too salty. I think next time I should opt for a salt less raw olive if i can find one. However, if you're a normal person that likes eating salt then these olives are very good!

im ruined, cant ear regular olives now
