Check out a company called Filthy Food. I love their blue cheese stuffed olives and I also love all of their other products. You might not like the price, but the olives are delicious. One of my favorites, other than the blue cheese ones are the ones that are stuffed with a tiny dill pickle. The olives are big and fleshy - no oily taste or feeling.

For the kalamata olives, I buy a brand called Mezetta - they come in a glass jar.

The ones from the olive bars don't last more than a week or two in the fridge AND the $8.99/pound makes me a little crazy.

I like eating the kalamata's, so if anyone has suggestions for those, I'd be interested, too.
I have started buying a brand on line but it is very pricey so only do it once in awhile. I got an ad in the mail around Christmas last so I bought some of it on special for stocking stuffers Like I said it is super expensive and will only splurge maybe once every couple of months.The name of the company is: olioCarli

Oh, ok. Ive never seen blue cheese stuffed olives here (UK), just pimento or garlic stuffed olives. A dirty martini here is a martini with some olive brine and olives I think, but blue cheese might be an interesting one to try!

Now those look GREAT! The price per bottle isn't that unreasonable. It's the shipping costs that make things ugly. I emailed them and asked if they were available retail anyplace in NC. Sadly, no.



But you hit the nail on the head, vrexy.

I love them and am so glad you liked my suggestions. I just looked and they sell Filthy Olives on Amazon with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. Maybe that would work for you.

Yeah, I saw that on Amazon. Not exactly free shipping. The 8 ounce bottles are about $7 bucks from the company. Double that on Amazon Prime. (Not that I'm faulting Amazon. But I've found that bottled products are rarely a good price on Amazon. The shipping is too high for those things.)

Might be a good idea to buy some good quality big Spanish queen olives then stuff them with blue cheese yourself.

Filthy Food is a great name. I want to buy something from them because of it.

I know!

Omg, I'm in love with this thread. I'll have to come back to post.

But, right off the bat, I agree with some other posters; if you like blue cheese-stuffed olives, you're better off doing it yourself. You can buy them that way, but I can never taste the difference.
