# Crunchy Olive Snacks This Cielos Snack Gives Olives Flavorful Coatings Like Paprika and Wasabi By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-05-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cielos References: [cielos.ch](http://www.cielos.ch/) Olives are typically purchased by consumers in jars or in plastic tubs from a store's antipasto bar, but Dumet's Cielos Crunchy Olives offer an entirely new way to snack on olives. This [portable olive snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-bites) introduces [crunchy olives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/granarolo-cheese-crisps) that come in a bag. The olives are oven-baked and come in six different flavors with crispy coatings, including ones like Indian Curry, Wasabi and Sour Cream & Onion that completely transform the experience of eating olives on-the-go. A comparable product to this Cielos Crunchy Olives snack are the [single-serve pickles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickles-bites) from Oh Snap! Both of these new products take food items that are conventionally only found in jars and repackage them in a way that's convenient for out-of-home eating. This signals that there is a great opportunity for other products of this nature. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Portable Snacking:** Opportunity for brands to create convenient and innovative snacking options for consumers. - **Repackaging of Traditionally Jarred Food Items:** Opportunity to innovate packaging of traditionally jarred foods into convenient, on-the-go options. - **Innovative Coatings for Snacks:** Opportunity for food brands to experiment with unique and flavorful coatings for snacks and create an entirely new sensory snacking experience. ### Where This Applies - **Snack Food Industry:** Opportunity for companies in the snack food industry to create new and innovative products that appeal to consumers' desire for easy and convenient snacking options. - **Packaging Industry:** Opportunity for companies in the packaging industry to develop new and innovative packaging solutions that cater to the evolving snacking market. - **Food Coating Industry:** Opportunity for companies in the food coating industry to capitalize on the growing trend of unique and innovative snack coatings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freeze-Dried Olive Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeze-dried-green-olives.md) - [Olive Snack Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-snack-packs.md) - [Flavored Olive Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cypressa-3.md) - [Resealable Olive Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-snack.md) - [Snackable Grilled Olives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-olives.md) - [Guacamole-Style Olive Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olimole.md) - [Chili-Lime Pickle Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oh-snap-chillime-bites.md) - [Organic Mediterranean Olive Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biona-olives.md) - [Tangy Cracked Olive Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cracked-olive-salad.md)
