Michaela Elmore Cogswell Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Kalamata olives are my favorite and I find myself eating them almost every day. They are fine as long as the brand you bought hasn't added anything prohibited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournegirl Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yeah, because the black olives are called Spanish olives here anyway LOL. I used to buy the green olives stuffed with pimento, but now most types seem to have pimento paste with some thickener rather than only pieces of real pimento...
