Olive Snack Packs - 2.3 Ounce (Pack of 8)(Kalamata)

This is the first time that I have purchased anything from Cat Cora's Kitchen by Gaea. I will definitely purchase them again. The taste is excellent. They taste better than all the other pitted olives I have bought in the past except they have a little bit softer texture. The resealable pouch is a nice plus. It seals good and they stay fresh and soft without drying out at all. So far the only complaint that I have is that I can't stop eating them once I open up one of the packs. :-)

The taste of these olives is OK. They taste like Greek olives and are a bit soft. Unfortunately, I think they are far too greasy & oily. The oil does not taste like a high quality olive oil. Moreover, the first package had a large number of pits fragments that were small enough not to be seen but large enough to damage teeth and dental work. Overall, 2 stars for my first bagged serving.Unfortunately, my experience with these olives took a turn for the worse. Upon opening the second bag, I noticed that there was white residue and spots all over the olives - a picture is posted. I'm guessing it's mold. It could be due to a package that was never fully or properly sealed, or it could be due to the manner in which Amazon stored them, or perhaps a combination of the two. Regardless, it's simply unacceptable to open a food product and find it in this condition. I would give it 0 stars now if I could.Not surprisingly, I don't recommend this product. I previously tried the green olives from this brand, which were great, but I won't be repurchasing anything from the the Cat Cora by Gaea brand again because of this experience - that includes previous purchases of olive oils, green olives and tapenades. Moreover, this is the second time I've received moldy, white-spotted olives from Amazon. The last time it was the Byzantine brand, and I hoped switching brands would rectify the problem. Unfortunately it didn't, so this is also my last olive purchase from Amazon.

OMG. I love Kalamata (and other) olives, so decided to try these. WOW. They have the great taste and texture of great Kalamata olives, but are less bitter than most, which I like. I also like the smaller packages, as they are to be used within 3 days of opening- I live alone, so that means less waste. I'm going to try more of Cat Cora's products- if they're half as good as this product, I'll be a happy camper !! :)

These olives are quite good, but don’t purchase them for air travel. The pressure changes will cause them to open. Only take what you plan to consume on the first flight. They do go through security just fine (very little liquid), but will leak after the change in pressure causes them to open.

The package displays black olives, but the olives are green. Very fresh.

Delicious. Occasionally I find pit fragments, but other than that, these are super high-quality!

Olive Snack Packs, with an "s", implies multiple packs. 2.3 ounce (Pack of 8). I only received 1 pack. Not happy to have paid a premium (with shipping!) for a tiny packet of olives. I thought I was receiving 8!

I keep on ordering. I love the packs, use them frequently for snacks, antipastos, pasta dishes, and keep my grand daughters happy.The flavor is consistent, and quality is very good to taste wise.
