It’s just not a holiday meal without olives, right? At least it seems that way in our family. There is always some assortment of olives and/or pickles out on the table. My aunt even has a olive/pickle tree that she puts out at Christmas!
What normally happens though is someone opens a can of olives and there are always some left, but the can has been thrown away or recycled already. Now you have to get out a storage container, but the brine is gone too, so they dry out pretty quick for our tastes (we like juicy olives). Now Lindsay Olives has resealable tubs – you take off the plastic lid, remove the pull-top can type lid and eat what you want, then put the plastic lid back on and pop them in the fridge where they will stay for about 10 days once 
opened. This is great for reaching in and grabbing a couple of olives as a snack during the day too or grabbing a few for lunch. I think almost all the kids in our family enjoy olives, they have to do the olive finger thing. Taylor hasn’t done that in a while, but he decided to try today for me. His fingers have grown a tad – so he decided this is the cool way for teens to make olive fingers.
Lindsay Olives come in both medium and large regular, plus a great new Italian Seasoned variety. When you open them up they have a wonderful smell – the taste isn’t overpowering at all to the olive though. We had the Lindsay Olives out on Thanksgiving and everyone enjoyed them. Hubby and Taylor have been snacking away on them in the fridge since then (they are just about gone now). It was nice not having to waste those cans of olives like I did in the past.
