I don't think I've tried the Moroccan sun dried olives before.

Morroccan sun drieds are really tasty, different texture than your standard olive. They are a deep black colour and almost always have very wrinkly looking skin. Honestly, if you didn't know what they were you'd probably think they were old and gross but they are really delicious.
They are salt cured instead of brine cured, so their flavour really gets concentrated inside, like salt curing a ham. The flesh is less watery than your standard olive but isn't 'mushy'. Really excellent texture to them.
They are probably my favourite olives to eat 'as is' and are an excellent snack to eat with a beer. Better than pretzels or peanuts, but not as cheap.
