From Trader Joe’s 365 2015
“This is the best Trader Joe’s olive we have had. Not the best OLIVE we have had, mind you, but the best one from TJ’s. Although we both said something like, “It is a KALAMATA, how badly can it be screwed up???”, we had to give it a thumbs up.
First impressions – too mushy. But then again, it is PITTED. We normally eat olives with PITS. I feel like if TJ’s just left these pits in, this would be a better olive. I know, I know, it is probably some liability thing and a lawyer in California told them it is too dangerous to have pits – someone might break a tooth or choke. I say ADD A DISCLAIMER TO THE PACKAGE, leaves those pits in, and serve up better olives!
But despite the mush factor, the taste is pretty good. It is meaty, it is salty, it is kalamata.
So overall – will this be our olive of choice??? No. But is it worth keeping a jar in the fridge in case we run out of olives from the olive bar (of another grocery store)?? YES.
