Premium Quality Nocellara Olives 1.5kg tub - Green Olive with Stone - Nocellara Del Belice Olives - 100% Sicilian - Packed with Olive Oil and Rapeseed Oil - Freshly Packed in Britain - Vegan!

I’m no chef, but I’ve got an ok pallet and cannot understand how reviewers have said these are nasty tasting because of the rapeseed oil! We found them to be lovely in salads, dropped in pasta in a tomato sauce, having them in a bowl with drinks etc etc. I’ve eaten olives in Italy, Greece, Spain etc and without a doubt having them French in country in the sun with a cold wine or beer will always make them taste better, and we’ve spend 3 times as much for fancy marinated olives in fancy packaging and they taste better by some % but not 3 times better. So our conclusion is if you want a nice plump olive (still has the pips in) that you can mix with feta cheese, or dipping ciabatta into balsamic vinegar blah blah then these are perfect, they are cheap enough to eat on mass, or mix in your own flavoured olive oil and herbs then buy these as this is a bargain. On the 1 weeks consumption you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand this is due to regulation, there is no difference in cracking the lid and scooping out a number of olives and then and as long as the olives are still covered in the same oil and you pop the container in the fridge then these will last much longer than a week. Oil can get protein strings in it, it tastes nasty but you can see it but if kept in the fridge then it’s ok in our view, but I’m not a food scientist. They are not going to go off in a week because you broke seal on the lid.

Lovely and very tasty definitely better than the pitted ones

Good product cant complain for the price. There have been some very soft ones and the oil is a bit dense. Once dried off with kitchen roll there good to go.

Take spoon and carefully remove thin layer of rapsed oil from top. And put few spoons of extra virgin oil instead. They will taste 10x better. The rapsed oil make them taste bland. And get Pitter- stone removing tool. They will taste lovely fresh and firm.

Really sorry for being negative about it, I really liked the quality of the olives. They are really outstanding quality but why would you use that oil which is not olive oil %100 sure. Olives smells like something else, I can not quite name what oil is that but such a wasted olives for me. Tastes and smells really bad, I tried to put it onto water and waited for hours but I can still smell it and taste it. It feels like machine oil, as a mediterennean I am very disappointed. Please take this as a positive for review and change the way you are doing it.

These Nocellara olives have that characteristic buttery taste, are easy to chew (mind the olive stones!) and have a lovely flavour. They come in a heavy duty, large plastic screw-top jar of which the olives' drained weight is quoted to be '800g'. Fair enough. The olives are in a mix of rapeseed oil and olive oil which added ascorbic acid which naturally preserves the green colour of the olives. They arrived in good time, well packed I was pleased to notice. My husband and I love these Nocellara olives and we think you will, too. Good value.

Very nice just i was buying smell pots from the deli counter as I like them that much now I've opted to buy in bulk & happy i did.

If I could I would give it a minus 1!!!!! The last two times I have purchased this product from this particular business, the olives are soft and taste sour-ish, almost fishy.. Nothing like the firm, nutty flavour and texture they should be like. The seller is not losing money because theyare opersting a 'not returns policy' . I have lost 30 pounds. They should check their stock and get rid of the spoilt batch, not sell it!
