Supersize Black Olive Snacks

Trader Joe's Whole Colossal Kalamata Olives are a Savory Snack Option

— November 29, 2022 — Lifestyle
If you're looking for a more savory snack option for the upcoming holiday season, Trader Joe's has you covered with its Whole Colossal Kalamata Olives.

Kalamata olives are best known for their dark purple color, as well as their distinctly briny and slightly meaty flavor profile. Now, you can enjoy even more of this delicious flavor because Trader Joe's has managed to find and package super-sized Kalamata olives. Because of their big size and even bigger flavor, the Whole Colossal Kalamata Olives make the perfect addition to charcuterie boards, antipasto platters, or even a garnish for various drinks like New Year's Eve martinis. As Trader Joe's explains, the olives can even make for a great gift for the "foodies or the craft-cocktail afficionados in your life."
