Eastern Feast - Grape Leaves in Brine, 32 oz (930g)

My jar had perfect leaves in them with varying sizes most of them large. Tasted amazing. Exactly what I was hoping for for a canned product. Decent price for the amount. It was packaged well but I did experience a little leakage. I'm assuming this happened during shipping because the box was dry. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and quality.

It’s hard to find this where I live so this is a godsend. Tons of grape leaves per jar and the seal was still perfect when they arrived. No broken glass in shipping. They have long stems on the leaves but I found this to work to my advantage to separate the leaves. I will be buying this again the next time I make stuffed grape leaves.

The worst grape leaves. They’re super old and hard, and they're cut into too many little pieces. This is a ripoff, plus Amazon won't refund; they've become the worst customer service.

In a small town grape leaves are very hard to find so ordering online is really your only choice. My Son wanted me to make stuff grape leaves Dolmas and they came out great.

Many of the leaves were torn or with holes. Hard to make grape leaves with them.

These a very tasty (but hard to get out of the jar!)

The leaves were quite tough and scattered in the jar. Not the best quality that one can purchase

This is my first time using grape leaves and making my own dolmas! While I am very happy with my first try, I would probably try a different brand next time. Again, this is my first time so I have nothing else to compare the grape leaf quality to (so maybe they all have this issue) but I found the success rate of these leaves to only be about 2/3rd. Otherwise, they were either too small and/or had holes or rips and were too precarious for rolling/dolmas use. Those had to be used for lining the bottom of the pan. I did turn these leaves into a dolmades soup after though which was good! I was kind of surprised how small some of these were, seemed odd to consider them "medium" in any sense.. The taste was totally fine, as expected- protein-y bite to it. Not sour, not too brine-y since they rinsed off fast and easy. Will give these credit for not having annoying stems that needed trimming! Only a few stringy dolmas but overall seemed well trimmed. The jar had 3 bunches in it and I was hoping to use just 1 on the pan but needed to use 1.5-2 because so many were rejects. So to do another batch of this size I would probably need to buy a whole new jar as the remaining bunch probably won't make enough. Next time I would probably try a "large" or "medium to large" jar, if that exists!
