re: Which is the better olive salad?

Militello's used to be incredible, but then the Ol' Master passed on.

Rouses Olive Salad is surprisingly good.

Im always surprised how good Rousse’s store brand products are. Red and green pestos are most excellent too. An employee told me a lot of store brand products are imported from Italy.

Central Grocery and by a lot.

Central's has 80% olives while Boscoli's you have to search for them. The only issue with central's is the olives are too close to whole. You need to immersion blend it a bit.

You guys are killing me. Most of the olive salads you're posting are fake. They're made with 100% SOY oil. Gross. Not healthy, highly inflammatory and olive salad is "duh" made with olive oil. Last time I checked, Rouse's, Krewe and Monjuni's were made with 100% olive oil. My favorite brand is a sleeper that I stumbled upon at Carter's but only certain Carter's like the new one in Denham. Can't remeber the name but its a huge jar, great price and it's olive dense with 100% olive oil. I'll look at my receipts and post it as soon as find it. Someone on this thread mentioned adding grated romano. Excellent pro tip. I always add romano to my Muffuletta's.
If you have the time making your own olive salad is soooo much better and sooo much less expensive.

Whatever they use at Zuppardo's

Central Grocery is over-hyped and over-priced but deservedly so: long-standing Sicilian American grocery store who were the first to sell the muffuletta. Their olive salad is entirely too salty for my tastes, though.

Boscoli is good but over-priced.

Rouses is the best you can buy in the store. Very good and at a reasonable price point.

Food and drink board

Monjuni’s is the best imo

Food board?

The very best olive salad isn't pictured here. The in-store made Olive Salad from Fertitta's Delicatessen is the original olive salad in the US, and to this day remains the best
