Unknown Deli Olive #1

Today I was eating some deli olives that a friend got for me. So I have no idea what they actually are. So this series of reviews will be about the mystery deli olives. I have to note that these olives smelled awesome. It was like the goddess of delicious smells came down to them and bestowed all her powers of amazing smells onto this little dish. Or maybe I'm to the point of liking olives so much, just smelling them makes me happy. It's probably the second. This olive was an 8 overall, I think. It was a savory olive, with an herby taste. 
I'd give this olive a 9 for size, it was quite large, and in my opinion the bigger  the better. For quality, I'd say it was a 6. It was a good shape, and the skin was pulled tight, so there were no weird looking wrinkles  but a few of them had split down the side, and while this doesn't affect taste, it does take the aesthetic value down a few notches  This olive has a vinegariness of about 6.5, which I'd say is about average, you can taste it easily, but you don't really notice until you try to notice. The sweetness of this olive was about a 5, you could taste it, and it taste nicely sweet, but you had to really be trying to notice the sweetness in order to taste it. It had a great texture, i prefer firm olives, and this one was firm without being tough. I'd give this a saltiness of 8 , it was pretty salty  but I've tasted saltier. This olive was also very oily, probably a 9 out of 10. This olive was unpitted  which i think is always  a plus, because the olive hold up better. Oh, and there were little bits and peices of herbs, which made it look very fancy, but when you ate the olive, the bits and pieces got in the way. It really takes away from the experience if you have all sorts of random crap in your mouth.
