Mario Olives Review!

We love olives! My Mom and I can eat them all day long and into the night!

Not long ago, I received a complete set of the new 100 Calorie Olive Pouches from Mario® Camacho Foods.

The new pouches are the perfect snack size!

Packed loose without the juice, these 100-calorie, easy-to-open pouches are the perfect on-the-go snack without the mess. Our premium manzanilla and kalamata olives are pitted and mildly flavored with seasonings, garlic, thyme, or chilies. No brine means less mess, so you can pour them on a salad, use them as an ingredient, or eat them straight out of the pouch. However you choose to eat them, we are sure you’ll love the taste. Imported from Spain. Kosher. Gluten free. Cholesterol free.

I am crazy about the chile and thyme olives. They have a mildly spicy heat that makes them perfect for hearty Mexican salads and tucked inside tacos and burritos.

My Mom loved the Garlic Olives. Straight from the bag or popped in her margarita -- her favourite! I expected the garlic olives to be over-powering but they were actually mild and so delicious.

Mom and I both liked the kalamata olives. We sliced some and tossed them in salads. Kalamata olives are very hearty -- so we some diced some and mixed them in ground beef for olive burgers! YUMMEH! Topping pizza also comes quickly to mind!

These small pouches really appeal to me because of the built-in portion control (100 calories per pouch) and the lack of messy juice. The olives really do seem fresher and tastier this way. I'm sold on them for sure!

There are so many ways to use olives in salads, appetizers, main courses... just use this handy Recipe Guide to discover just how you can use olives in your family's meals!

I'm very impressed with Mario® Camacho Foods. This is a company with a long and storied reputation for excellence.
