 5 lbs of olives with no brine or storageSep 22, 2007
By Michael G. Lustig
OK, the description is accurate but I expected some brine. The olives (and other ingredients) are shipped without any brine which makes long-term storage a challenge. I had to make my own brine since if you leave the olives without any brine they get even mushier and spoil. I re-packaged them in a plastic container and made a brine of sea salt and water (which is a standard olive brine) and they are storing well after 6 months. Yes, I made them even saltier but at least they will last indefinately this way. Make sure to use enough sea salt or they will spoil. These olives are mushy and don't compare to quality store brands like California Olive Company.

awesome, absolutely AWESOME!Jan 22, 2011
By Chris S.
We were preparing a dinner for 160 people of mixed faiths in our community (Jews, Muslims and Christians) and went with what we considered an appropriate Mediterranean theme common to all 3. As a treat to add zest to an otherwise very low cost collection of foods on the buffet, we splurged and bought 2 bags of these olives, hoping that we'd interpreted the reviews correctly. To our delight, the olives were extraordinary. We couldn't believe our good fortune.
However, we had had no idea how much 5 lbs would be in terms of volume. To our chagrin, there were clearly not enough olives for generous servings for 160 people, even with two bags. So... we extended them, by adding in an equal amount of a carefully drained mix of ordinary green and pitted black olives from the grocery store, stirring thoroughly and refrigerating it all for 24 hours, so that the heady aromas from these antipasto delights would spread to the more plebian ingredients we had added. Guess what? It worked! So... for any of you who love these olives but can't afford them often enough to suit you -- try extending them the same way. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised.
For those of you who aren't worried by the price, forget about extending them, but don't miss these spectacular olives -- they're truly fabulous. We didn't have much in the way of leftovers, but we were able to take home a cup or so after the event and have been rationing them for ourselves. They're that good! We will buy more for ourselves sometime and divide them into small packages for long term storage, just as many reviewers have suggested.
P.S. From this experience, we've concluded that 5 lbs. equals 40 generous servings, so, if money hadn't been an object, we'd have needed 4 bags for 160 people. That makes it just a hair over $1 a serving, which we consider an extraordinarily good value, given how fabulous these olives really are.

I love to buy these olives. I just break down the bag into about 3 zipper bags and just pull out what I need. I always have some on hand for an impromptu snack or to throw into a meal.
