Unknown Deli Olive #2

To be honest, I didn't like this olive, it just wasn't my thing. It was a savory olive, but it was far more bitter than it was savory. I was almost sour, but it's bitterness was  overpowering. I think this olive was kinda like coffee  it was an acquired taste, that I don't have. It was very firm  and tightly wrapped around the pit. I would give it a high rating for quality, but because of it's tightness, about half of the ones that I had were split, so it gets a 4. Well, I don't know if that is the actual reason, but that is my little conclusion.

 Despite it's bitterness, it was actually sweet, about a 6 out of 10, but it was covered by it's bitterness. It wasn't very salty,maybe a 5, which is always a negative point for me. I love salt, as you can probably tell from my user. It was quite vinegary though, which was an interesting flavor when combined with the bitterness. Now that I think of it, I wonder if it is less flavored and salty so it tastes similar to how an un-pickled olive would taste like. But I don't really like the flavor, so it doesn't matter. It was also rather small, I'd give it a 4 out of 10. It smelled really good, and herby, and is a really pretty color of bright green, so I was exited to eat it, but it ended up disappointing me.
