Goya Pitted Alcaparrado Manzanilla Olives with Peppers & Capers

Goya Pitted Alcaparrado Manzanilla Olives with Peppers & Capers is a small-format jarred olive product that bridges pantry staples and party-ready antipasti. On the shelf you would typically find it in the international or pickles & olives aisle, shelved near other jarred Mediterranean items like roasted peppers, artichokes, capers, and imported anchovies — often grouped with Spanish and Latin pantry imports. Shoppers reach for this 7 oz size for cocktail hour, charcuterie boards, quick salads, or to dress up sandwiches and pasta. It fits occasions from weekend brunch and casual entertaining to meal-prep sessions when a bright, briny topping is needed. Goya's brand positioning leans into Latinx and broadly multicultural grocery shoppers who value accessible, familiar ethnic flavors; the packaging signals everyday authenticity and convenience rather than gourmet exclusivity. The label uses simple pride-forward language — product of Spain; just one quality - the best — but carries no organic seal or child-focused graphics. The short ingredient list (olives, pimientos, capers, water, salt, acetic acid) creates a modest natural halo, though the jarred, pitted format reflects food processing for shelf stability. In plain terms, these are prepared olives packed in brine — pitted and combined with peppers and capers, then acidified for preservation. Sensory notes: firm, meaty olive flesh with a saline-bright pop, sweet-pepper softness from the pimientos and a piquant lift from the capers; expect a glossy, oil-free brine. Packaged in a small jar ideal for passing around the table, they are commonly scooped with cocktail picks, stirred into salads, or used as a martini garnish.
