Individual can's, great price and quality product. Except for packing for shipment.
Very good olives! They are small, unstuffed and delish! I love the individual can's because I can just pop one in the fridge, and not have to take up space. I am really happy I found them here, and will continue to buy. One big problem? DENTED CAN'S! I don't know who packs them, but they need to be trained on how to package food items better! One can is very dented, but I think it's okay. I'm going to open it first. 5 out of 6 cans have a giant dent in them. I also read reviews that cans are dented. This could potentially be a game changer for the negative in the future.

Delicious and Firm. Good Value!
These are very nice. They are firm and are delicious. I am glad that they don't have any jellied pimento in them as that is unpleasant in olives. These will slice nicely and be great in tuna salad, cream cheese spread, etc. Can was full right to the top, and I am pleased with the prompt shipping time. I am going to soak these in water to reduce the sodium and acid because I need reduced sodium. This is a good way to make olives a healthier snack for those on sodium restrictions. These were exactly what I was hoping for and I have enough to last a while. Thank You!

I stand corrected, these do contain Yellow #5
Edit: Unfortunately (and apologies to the other reviewer who mentioned this) some of these DO have Yellow #5. I bought another batch of 12 cans and sure enough it is included as an ingredient. I looked at a can I already had and it is not listed! Also, the new ones taste like rubber. It's a sad day when a good product goes bad.To the one star reviewer complaining about these being pickled ... YES, that's why we buy them. They are great in salads or other dished for that reason. There are better olives to eat solo, but they also cost significantly more.Regarding the ingredients, there is only olives, salt, and acetic acid. There is no Yellow #5.I have ordered these olives 17 times and I have never received a package that DIDN'T have a dented can. Sometimes all of them are dented. Also, they over pack the olives in bubble wrap and duct tape. But the contents are always fine.These aren't the only olives I buy nor are they my favorites, but they are great to have around and affordable.

Olives=5, Shipping=1
I first tried Galil Green Manz Olive 12-15 + 20% Extra, 22.8-Ounce Cans (Pack of 6) and loved them. Although these pitted ones cost about a dollar more, I thought it'd be nice to have a stash of them on hand for those times I want to use olives in a dish (since the others contain pits). Unfortunately, the shipped package, which had a couple other small items in it, arrived totally beat up. One end of the shipping box had been completely ripped open and then taped shut. Inside, the olives cans were all dented but one. Weirdest of all, a roll of toilet paper was stuck inside the box too. No, I had not ordered any toilet paper; all I can figure is somewhere along the way, perhaps when the box had busted open because the olives weren't properly immobilized by Amazon, somebody thought to use the roll as packing material. Nice. [insert eye roll]The salvaged good can? Wonderful! These olives are just grand, so fresh, with good texture, not mushy at all. I like to rinse them in water before use, to cut down on the salt.Amazon is replacing the olives. The promised one-day shipping has turned into a week, so I will post an edit when they arrive. I am hoping since no other reviewer mentioned dented cans as a problem, that maybe my experience was a fluke.EDIT: 3 of 6 cans in the replacement order, which was packaged much better, had dents, two significant enough to throw out (dents near seams are considered particularly hazardous in canned goods). This time it looked like dents were in the cans *before* shipping. Disappointing.

Galil makes great olives!
Finally, they're back in stock. After purchasing these olives I never buy them at the grocery any more. The savings are tremendous, the olives are as good as those I used to pay 4-6 times as much for and since they're canned, the shelf life is not months but years. I use olives quite a lot in spreads, sauces, salads and the occasional martini. These have never disappointed me. I just open a can, pour them and the brine into a glass jar, refrigerate and they taste as good or better than those over priced tiny jars you buy at your local grocer.I'll keep buying these as long as they keep selling them.

Really Good Value
I love these olives and use them for cooking. They are fine as snacks too, but the large can requires you to use a jar of your own to keep fresh, which is fine. I have tried a lot of the olive options on Amazon and I have been disappointed with several. But I really enjoy these. My only wish is that they had an organic option. Also, in general, I often received dented cans from Amazon. It's frustrating. But the olives are really nice.

Good olives but what packing
I have been ordering these olives for several years. Always delicious and very authentic mid eastern olive. Today my latest package arrived and they were packed for disaster. Each can individually wrapped in bubble wrap and taped securely Spacers added to take up any extra room and box taped thoroughly. I wonder how much labor costs are incurred for this excellent packaging

Dented cans
Good olives but the second time I ordered several cans were too dented to use. I don't mind slight dents. These were badly dented. I sent photos of the dented cans to the seller but did not receive replacement or refund because the seller wanted the dented cans returned. Big hassle. I decided to toss the cans and buy a different product next time. So, good olives. Not good customer service.
