Grabbing some olives, to take as an on-the-go snack, may not always seem an obvious choice, mainly because they can be a little messy but Mr Filbert\u2019s<\/strong> have made things better with their Olive Snack range.<\/p>\n

We were sent three varieties to try packed in handy 30g portion pouches which contain just enough to enjoy as part of a meal or to complement a drink.<\/p>\n

Rather than swimming in brine or oil, Mr Filbert\u2019s Olive Snack bags keep the contents a little drier for a more pleasant eating experience.
The olives have also been carefully pitted so there are no stones to deal with either.<\/p>\n

Good quality olives have been selected which have a nice texture, neither too hard or too squishy and the flavour is full and fruity.<\/p>\n

There are small flecks of herbs and spices providing evidence that real ingredients have been used to marinate the olives.<\/p>\n

A little extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and red wine vinegar is the base for all and balances well with each different herb and spice addition.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ background_position=”top_left” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ text_font_size=”15″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\"MrKalamata Pitted Olives marinated with thyme & parsley<\/h2>\n

Wonderful moist and fruity black olives with a subtle herby flavour which is woody and fragrant from the thyme although the parsley is not very noticeable. The initial flavour is fairly faint but the herbal notes come later.<\/p>\n

\"MrKalamata & Green Pitted Olives marinated with sweet chilli & basil<\/h2>\n

Again, good flavoured black and green olives. The chilli is quite tame and to be honest we were expecting a little more kick. That\u2019s probably not a bad thing as some people prefer their chillies not too hot. The basil adds some aniseed background flavour.<\/p>\n

\"MrGreen Pitted Olives marinated with fennel & coriander<\/h2>\n

Nice juicy green olives and in our opinion, this variety is the best of the bunch with a bright and exciting flavour. The fennel has a nice aniseed flavour backed up with the fragrance of coriander leaf which doesn\u2019t have that characteristic soapy taste which some people notice.<\/p>\n
