Review: When it comes to ancient Greek currency, I am not picky. I love olives. I will even eat sliced black olives with a fork from a tin can, despite the copper tasting fluid they swim in for months on end. For cooking purposes, though, you have to think of your tasting pulic who will be tasting your delicious meal. You have to have standards. Those standards don't have to be $7.99/lb, but they can be. Especially if you are shopping at Dominick's, they can be. Dominick's Kalamata olives frolick in fresh olive oil just waiting for you to lifesave them with a large plastic spoon and take them home with you. Their flesh is the fine mix of bitter and salty that you would expect from any olive worth its weight in... well... olives. Not too much of either taste overpowers the other, and if you cut these ping-pong sized beauties into smaller chunks, the taste only enhances whatever dish you put them on.
