Replenished my supply of Mezzetta's Olives in Hot Habanero Sauce today.
I am now addicted to 'em. Olive snacks, olive & foccacia sandwiches, you
name it. The cashier laughed out loud when she saw I had appropriated
one of the 6-pack cartons offered for a pick-and-choose beer pak. My
*beer pak* was loaded with Mezzetta. And to think, I never used to even
eat olives.
I see they are available online at Mezzetta site but cost mucho more
that way. I only pay 3.79 per jar at World Market (a chain import
store).

I also bought a jar of Mezzetta's Jalapeno Stuffed Olives. I will pass
on them next time. s'OK, decent heat for jal, but mushier and more
salty than the olive in hab sauce. I don't much like a mouthful of pure
salt or pure vinegar, which is likely why I haven't eaten olives in
past -- most come heavily steeped in one or the other (or both).
Mezzetta also makes a few other olive-jalapeno combos; you can
check them out at:
