Goya Pitted Ripe Black Olives
What it is
These are ripe black olives that have been pitted, meaning the hard seed has been removed. They are preserved in a brine solution which gives them their characteristic salty flavor and tender texture. The olives are ready to eat straight from the can or jar. They are a popular ingredient in many cuisines around the world.

You can drain the brine and add these olives directly to your favorite recipes. They are excellent chopped and mixed into potato salad or tuna salad.
