Mario Camacho Foods Pitted Snack Olives - Green Olives with a Hint of Garlic - 1.05 oz Pouches (Pack of 12)

I just got, (and ate 4 already), of the Mario Camacho Foods Pitted Snack Olives, Variety Pack,1.05 Ounce (Pack of 12) that I bought. Happily, I had bought 2 boxes of this Variety Version! One box to use as Christmas Stocking Stuffers for my Black Olive addicted husband. And another box for myself, because I NEEDED to at least sample each variety of these olives :) So, now I have just eaten 1 packet of each of the 4 flavors, and all I can say for every one of them is YUM! Well, I can also say delicious too! These are all so good that it is difficult to pick any favorites. I love both green and black olives, with maybe a slight edge to the green ones. My husband is really just a simple black olive lover, so I only got him a box of these for fun, just to spice things up a bit. I also give him 2 cases of the Mario Olive-Large Ripe, 6 Ounce cans (Pack of 12) every Christmas, so this Varity box of the 12 different Olive packets package was just for fun. But for me; now I NEED, and must have, more of the Green Olives with the Garlic AND more of the Green Olives with the Pepper! I already ate 4 little packets of each, just to see how they are, but these are just so good I could easily eat them all, the entire 12 pack, right now! Now, beware! The Olive packets are supposed to be juiceless, but there is still just a tiny bit of brine in these. So if you go dumping an opened package into your mouth, you may get a few drops of the brine running down your chin like I 1st did! Just position the entire packet opening so it will all flow into your mouth and you'll be good! I just finished searching and I ordered a box entirely of the Green Olives with the Pepper, just for my greedy little self! At least these are a healthy snack, as long as you do not make a meal out of them like I just sorta did! Anyway, all of these Olives are delicious. But, you need to like both Black and Green Olives. You'll get 1 version of the Black Olives and 3 different versions of the Green Olives. But, if you but a box for your friends and family too, then you can all mix and match your favorites! So Olive lovers rejoice! And, ENJOY!

Love these olives! Very fresh, slightly spicy and just a few in each pouch! Perfect for travel!

These are great camp and hunting snacks!

I was looking for a way to have olives on hand that came in smaller portions and did not need refrigerated. These were the best I've found. I like black olives sometimes but mostly as a food topping or garnish. For snacking I like the green olives. These taste great with garlic and thyme. This is a healthy snack compared with chips and other popular snack foods. Olives in the jar tend to be really salty. Too salty for me. These are much lower in sodium than those. these are fresh and very good. These are pricey to buy in individual servings like this. It's not really a bad price, though, considering how expensive green olives are. I will buy these again.

I love these olives so much. They're just the right amount of firm/soft texture. The flavor is slightly tangy and savory from the spices/garlic. There are tiny bits of white garlic pieces stuck to the olives, which is maybe more than "a hint," but I'm not complaining because I LOVE garlic. I love that there aren't any preservatives in these, just lactic acid. My stomach finds these easy to digest. There are two servings in each pouch, which is weird, and I definitely eat both servings at once. There aren't enough olives in there to be more than a serving, unless you're a complete weirdo. The label says "packed loose without the juice" and this is about 85% true... there's definitely some juice in there, just not a ton of it. I have POTS, so I have to eat salty snacks often to survive the day. These have a lot of sodium, which is exactly what I want and need. In fact, I often go around reading labels looking for the snack with the most salt! These are perfect for me to slide into my purse and eat on the go (beware the juicy fingers, tho). As an aside, I tried the variety pack from this brand, and didn't like it as much. Sticking with this flavor.

Great to throw in your pocket or bag. Soft olives, both black & green. Next to no extraneous liquid inside, so zero mess opening. Only a very young toddler would need scissors to open one of these packages, or someone on their deathbed. See photo for indent to open. Better than canned olives by a mile.

Good snack

First: I got introduced to these on an airplane and I love them! They’re the best olives I have ever had… and I do not normally like olives. Having said that, I already ate a few of them and the quality isn’t diminished by this, but it feels very off that the best by date is OCT262025. I received them on January 23rd, 2026… That’s why I took off too stars. This shouldn’t be happening for items that are this expensive.
