These are truly satisfying, enjoyable, great tasting olives, and these are any day better than “run of the mill” Spanish olives. Tried this out of a whim and I am happy to have received full value for money through the Greek olives. I will order these Greek olives from you people only again, I ordered a giant 2kg container and one half is over, and after that, will order from u again.
