pitted olives

[where oh where]

Where can I get pitted olives from.  I've looked at cold storage in bugis and centrepoint and they've only got stuffed ones or non - pitted ones.

thanks

[I buy]

I get them from CS, Giant, Carrefour or NTUC - it just depends who's got stock.  I usually buy S&W as they're the cheapest - they're in a tin without oil (in brine I think).

They disappear from the shelves for ages sometimes and often you can only get the whole ones, so if you see them in stock, best to buy a few tins to stock up.

[Me too]

I buy jars of the greek Kalamata (sp) ones.  The jar of pitted is almost identical to the non-pitted so read the label carefully.  If you are after the deli ones, aren't the smaller mixed colour ones with chilli and herbs pitted?  (I could be wrong, but I thought they were.)

[Cold Storage]

CS at Holland Village has pitted kalamatas (fresh, not tinned) - I just bought some there a few days ago. I'm sure I've also bought them at CS Paragon and CS Tanglin Mall in the past.

thanks.. will try to look out for the S&W ones,  They're for my 20 month old son who loves the green ones.  So not looking for coloured ones.  And musnt' have chillies in them!

[Me too]

Oh dear.  The Kalamata (black) are very very salty and probably not to be recommended for such a young child.  You could try pitting your own. Very easily done with the extra 'bit' on a traditional garlic crusher! (Does fresh cherries as well.)

I get my olives from Jasons in the basement of Raffles City at the deli counter, they have range of pitted and stuffed.
