I need to settle an argument I started. My argument: olives are gross.

I will die on this hill.

So you're saying that I need to travel to where olives are made?

Or just to a middle eastern grocer.

Also - Castelvetrano are the olives that non-olive people often like. The flavor is mild and buttery, not as sour as most but without the metallic edge the black olives have.

Thank you for the recommendations! I might see if the super fancy grocery store by my work has those olives. If they don't, then I'll try to find a middle eastern grocer. I don't mind taking a minor road trip to find legit olives. I wanna know if I just don't like the ones I've been exposed to.

Of course. Otherwise they're just sparkling kalmatas...
