I love olives. I love them on their own, and as a flavor burst for recipes. Olives are a great sources of good fats and vitamin E, in addition to just tasting good! I was very happy to be able to try a few of the snack packs of Oloves brand olives over the last week. They come in several flavor varieties of which we tried:
Hot Chilli Mama, which has green olives and habanera was the first we tried. This one being spicy I gave to my husband since he is the lover of all things spicy to eat, and I am a bit of a light weight. My husband added them to his pizza plate for lunch. I did try one just so I would know the exact taste. They were not so spicy that you couldn't eat them on their own as a snack.
Next we tried both the Lemony Lover, which is green olives with lemon and garlic, and Tasty Mediterranean, which is green olive basil and garlic. We were having tortilla wraps and since the pouch is only snack size we used two pouches to cover all of the tortillas. Plus that way we each got to try both flavors.
One thing that is great is that these come in neat little single serve pouches that are perfect for tossing in your purse or lunch box. Each pouch is only 50 calories too so you snack on even if you are dieting, like I often happen to be.
I personally love the Mediterranean best of all three varieties we tried. They were all very tasty and well matched flavors that are very complementary of each other. I will be looking to see what other flavors are available, maybe something to blend into my bean spread?

ReplyDeleteMy nephews would love the hot chilli mama, they love hot sauce on all their food and they also love peppers so this one would be for them. They all sound pretty good
