Oh tell me more! What do you do?

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

Costco green olives

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

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

I love castlevestranos too. Also frescatranos.

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.

Roland Foods, nicoise olives, but hard to find.

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

Another vote for castelvetrano!

Calevestrano is the most perfect green olive.

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