Goes well with any drink. I don't over-snack like on chips and peanuts; but, I still get that salty snack experience.

Comments about Organic Arbequina Olives:

to be honest i dont like green olives at all.But last year when i was in barcelona i had these from the market and they were the best thing since the hamburger.. i could not stop eating them .I had another brand from i gourmet and they were wonderful just how i remembered . But i wont be ordering these ones again, they were no different then eating a regular green olive.The good news is igourmet had no problem with me returning the other 3 bottles.
