Roland Foods Canned Dolmas, Stuffed Vine Leaves with Rice and Spices, 14 Ounce Can, Pack of 6

I order from Amazon ALOT, and these are so good I had to leave a review. They’re better tasting than the ones from Whole Foods and there are SO MANY (about 60 per can). You won’t be disappointed!One of the 2 cans came very dented (tough handling by mail people I think) but the can wasn’t compromised, so still 5 stars.Well worth the money folks!

I opted for the cheaper choice (per ounce) and was not let down.

I thought these were good. They are not as good as homemade, but I didn't expect them to be. I haven't had the other canned brands to compare them with, but I was surprised at how good they actually were. It's true they are on the mushy side, possibly because they are sitting in oil, I assume to keep from drying out. And some of the leaves were torn, but none were falling apart and I had no trouble getting them out of the can intact. They were wrapped very tightly. The directions say to drain the oil, and that's good advice. They tasted even better after doing that and refrigerating them. They have a lemony taste, but not too strong. Couldn't even taste the mint. They use sunflower oil, which I don't think is as good as olive oil, but most of the canned stuffed grape leaves seem to do the same, probably because it's cheaper. The recipe I prefer has a lot of dill and onions and lemon and uses extra-virgin olive oil (a Greek recipe), and the Roland has no dill. But for the price I thought these were definitely worth buying. I certainly won't have a problem eating them in a few days. I've never frozen grape leaves before, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. I doubt these are the best canned stuffed grape leaves out there (the Al-Wadi and Divina have better ratings), but they are good enough for me, especially for the price. And they are vegetarian.

This product is not kosher there is a kosher symbol on the original picture but when I got it the kosher symbol is not there I only eat kosher so i can’t use it

I have ordered these several times and I liked the taste and texture.However, the last two times I ordered one package of six I received a single can invoiced at the full price for six. One of those cans was damaged from inadequate packaging.Amazon refunded my money immediately, both times.The next time I ordered I tried a different brand.I have no complaints about the product itself.

I grew up in New York and could eat almost any nationality of food I wanted each day, but one of the foods I miss the most is Greek food. Imagine my surprise when I found this! These are delicious! I was reticent at first, but it tastes lime what I used to eat in Astoria, Queens. This manufacturer Roland also makes Baby Pitted Kalamata Olives!!!!! OMG they're amazing! So I make a Greek salad, add Roland's Kalamata olives and have a plate of these Dolmas on the table with some heated Pita bread topped with olive oil and Mediterranean seasonings and have my friends over for our regular summer tour of salads around the world. Its light, fun and healthy. And so easy to clean up. Hope u try this enjoy it as much as we do. Ciao

i almost gagged on my first one, it was a giant grape leaf with almost no rice in it and the leaf was so full of big tough stems it was just gross. the next few were ok but they should have like twice as much rice in them

I really like these. I've had Divina, and they are good- but I didn't taste any difference with these, and the leaves were firmer, and didn't fall apart when I pulled them out of the can. There were 15 stuffed vine leaves in the can I've opened so far (it was the most dented- but not "OMG" type dent- just wanted to eat it first). The flavor is nice- a bit lemony, but not too much. I'm already going to reorder. These make a nice light dinner with a salad (5-6 leaves + a salad and croutons, or toasted English muffins- I know it sounds weird but it's really good). This size can is very manageable for one person. These taste more like the dolmas that I get at the olive bar at the store.
