I am always on the look out for healthier snacks so I was really pleased to be asked to review Oloves Olive Snacks. They come in handy little 30g pouches which are just 50 calories each. I was sent 3 varieties of Oloves to try: Hot Chilli Mama, Tasty Mediterranean and Lemon Lover.
Lemony Lover is olives with lemon, garlic and oregano. I really enjoyed the combination, they had a lovely zesty taste to them. Tasty Mediterranean is olives with basil and garlic and this is a really strong flavor but again I enjoyed it. My favorite was Hot Chilli Mama which is a mix of habanero chillies and lemon. I was expecting something really hot but it was just a mild heat yet enough for a bit of a kick which left me craving for more.
Each pouch contained around 12 pitted green olives and I've been taking these to work as a snack. The little packet was surprisingly filling but my only criticism and it really is a minor issue, is that they are quite messy to eat due to the dressing. If you are eating these on the go then you will need to rinse your hands afterwards.
Oloves are available from Holland and Barratt for 99p a pouch and quite a few airlines serve these as snacks.
Verdict I think that Oloves are a fantastic idea for a healthy snack and I reckon that they would also be awesome added to a salad as they are just so full of flavor.
