Have been craving some green olives lately. While grabbing a jar of pimento stuffed olives, I noticed two varieties… one was “thrown” the other was “stuffed”. Not knowing which was which, I chose “stuffed”, specifically because it was priced a tad bit higher.

Why did I choose the higher priced? I thought maybe it had to do with the processing, in that possibly it would have a slightly different flavor. It was only a few cents higher, so nothing major.

Come to find out, it’s all about how they are packaged… in one case, the olives are literally “thrown” into the jar and the brine, etc it poured on top. In the “placed” case, the olives are placed more neatly, so the pimentos are showing.

It’s all about the neatness.

So what about this pimento? A pimento is a heart-shaped pepper about 3-4″ long. It’s a sweeter pepper than a red bell pepper. This is what they use to stuff green olives.
