Original New Orleans Olive Salad by Central Grocery - 32oz Quart Jar

I love this stuff. all chopped plus full size olives. It has problems, though. Those big olives will roll right off your sandwich. Plus ALL these "Olive Salads" are incredibly oily. With olive oil. And this item is pricey, I think, but it has been worthwhile for me, because it is the real deal when it's used on stuff, or mixed in with stuff. Heck, you can almost use it for dipping bread. This is my brand, I just wish it was a little cheaper. But, DANG, it is tasty.

Awesome. Just like the muffuletta in New Orleans

I used this for Muffaletta Sandwiches. It is the original, the one and the only! Full of gigantic olives and chunks of veggies marinated in premium olive oil! Accept no substitute!

Like just little salty

I found a recipe online that was for muffalatas and I had not had them yet. I wanted them for my birthday and my daughter was going to make them. This recipe was authentic and was very important to the flavor she said to get only New Orleans style Olive salad, so I searched, found this jar, ordered it, gave it to my daughter to use with the rest of the ingredients and BAM! Everyone was not even talking during the eating of these sammies. This salad packed the amazing punch of salty brine olives with the other veg all marinated to make your mouth water and need to buy more! Very worth the price and highly recommend!

As described

I live in Louisiana. This Central Grocery olive salad is the gold standard by which all others are judged. Central Grocery invented the muffuletta sandwich. The salad is not fine chopped. The flavor is outstanding. As stated on the jar.....often imitated...never duplicated. Another great muffuletta salad that was made in New Orleans is from Progress Grocery which was a couple doors down from Central Grocery. Progress Grocery is closed but their olive salad is still available online and in some stores in Louisiana. Progress salad is more finely chopped and also very good. Personally, even though Central Grocery olive salad is the gold standard, I prefer Progress Grocery brand. Both are outstanding and the ......real deal. Some others are good but are imitators. If you can’t find muffuletta bread you can use a good crusty French bread. Look up the ingredients for the proper meats and cheeses for a muffuletta.

So happy I could find this here. Doing keto and is a great condiment.

True taste of Nawlins. If you cant be there its the next best thing to enjoying the classic Muffalata

Price was a little high
