I stumbled across castelveltrano olives in a specialty foods store in pike place market in seattle washington. They were beautiful perfect little grannysmith apple looking olives, bright green, apple shaped, crisp and firm in texture, mild butter taste similar to green luques, low salinity... not very salty at all!!

All in all they were the best olives I have ever had bar none and I immediately decided I had to have them in bulk if possible. I found this source:

I ordered several pounds of olives and unfortunately they were no wheres near as good as they had been the previous time... admittedly they froze during shipping so they were mushier then previous but also the color was duller and the taste was much brinier and lacked that crisp buttery goodness that I loved so much.

So does anyone know of another source other then worldeats that supplies proper Castelveltrano olives?

thank you in advance to all who respond!!
