Simolive Greek Throuba Olives from Thassos 500 gr Vacuum-sealed

Purchased 3 types of kalamata olives found them well packaged, flavorsome and plentiful. Good quality product, no waste, no soft olives, they are nice and firm, so tasty takes your mind and palate back to beautiful Greece and lunch in the sunshine.

It is bit tricky to buy olives because they are all different and some have good flavor but too salty. We tried a few brands from amazon and elsewhere and this one is definitely not so salty. For me, the flavor is bit strong but I still like it.

I have just tried Simolive Greek Throuba Olives, WOW! mind blowing food. I have never tried these olives before. Miled bittersweet taste with a hint of brandy taste that just slaps you in the face, You feel strange, like a sugar rush and then bang, your hit with the full flavor of the olives. Price, in this case, does not matter at all. You can feel your money rushing through your blood, when the rush is over you will wish for another "hit" of the olives.

Throuba Olives are supposed to be very low in salt compared to other olives, so I was disappointed that they tasted so salty out of the packet. After soaking in water as suggested in the description they were much better.However, this makes me suspect they aren't processed in the traditional way.I have given 3 stars though since they are still good quality and after soaking are still extremely tasty.I will however buy a different brand next time I want traditional Throuba Olives.

The olive do not taste good at all. I have wasted my money on this product and I recommend to other customers not to do the same mistake.

Taste terrible

These were just like the ones my mum and dad used to pick and make them themselves. Very tasty and salty. I like them salty but if you find them to much you can always give them a rinse with cold water first. I found one or two a little hard and dry but that’s to be expected in any pack. Most of them were fine though. I haven’t opened the second pack yet so can’t comment on them but I’m sure they’ll be the same.

tasty olives, better than last time, most probably they should set the vacuum a bit lower, but still a good product
