Glorious. I think the garlic stuffed are a little strong for my liking, the aged black pit-in ones are phenomenal.

yeah, those wrinkly black bastards are the moroccan salt cured. I'm eating a bowl of them right now. Not cheap but who cares.
Glad you've had a mid-life awakening to the glory of the olive.
I find garlic stuffed olives to be strong as well. I like olives and I like garlic, but I like to add only a couple of those stuffed ones to the rest of my pit-in selection, balances things out a bit. Also, wine and cheese.
