| I want a jar of delicious big fat salty green olives. Heavy emphasis on the salt. What are your favorites? |

| Calevestrano is the most perfect green olive. |

No!!! I just bought a jar and they’re not salty enough. Perfect consistency and size though but not enough salt. |

Is there a saltier version? I got the Mezzetta brand and they’re so plain |

Castelvetranos are pleasant for people who don't like olive flavor a lot. They have a more vegetal flavor like artichokes. You might want kalamatas even though they aren't fat or green. Try Trader Joe's. |

| We sometimes buy big jars of Nabulsi olives, product of Turkey. They are cheap, pretty salty and are like $8 on sale. We usually doctor them by throwing in a bunch of stuff in the jar anyway. |

| My brother eats a lot of olives and likes Trader Joe’s manzanilla olives the best. I don’t think they’re fat though. |

| Buy them at an olive bar, not in a jar. |

It varies, but generally some combination of lemon slices, garlic, hot peppers, small onions, radishes, maybe some red bell pepper slices for extra color. |
