Renna, Baby Octopus, Small Octopus preserved in oil (10.58 oz), Premium Imported Seafood, Mediterranean flavor, Product of Italy

Honestly bought as a weird gift for my bf. He loves octopus and cooking. Not sure he will actually eat but he has it displayed with his other octopi.

Soooo, firstly, I’ll start off by saying these do taste good, but I was expecting a bit something different, so have taken off one star.I was expecting these to be more savory, and chewy, as they say they are packed in oil. There are not savory at all, but pickled flavor.They actually have the taste and texture of pickled eggs! You cannot taste the octopus at all and the texture of octopus is gone.I happen to really like pickled eggs, so this was not an issue for me and, like I said, these do taste good…just not like octopus.Because these are priced high…octopus price high, not pickled egg price…I will not purchase them again.

The octopus was spoiled and smelled so bad I had to take it outside and wrap it in several plastic seal top bags and toss in the garbage. I can't believe that this was processed properly and that it was allowed into the USA.

Sooooo. Good!

I got both jars: the baby ones & the tentacles. Both are mid at best. For SOME REASON they’ve put vinegar in the jars. I have no clue why they did that, but octopus and vinegar just don’t go together. There’s also sugar.. albeit it isn’t one of the top ingredients, I don’t think it’s necessary. The texture of the octopus is what you’d expect.. it’s about a 3.8-4 out of 5. But the vinegar in them makes me just not want to keep the jars. I tried them the night I got them, didn’t hate them but didn’t love them, then tossed both in the fridge and haven’t touched them since. I’m not even sure how long you can keep them in the fridge after opening them.I guess if I were to dump both jars, rinse them very thoroughly, then toss them back in the jars with just olive oil (they used sunflower oil), then these may be serviceable, but my order shouldn’t come with homework to make them good.For comparison: Matiz octopus in tins only contains octopus, olive oil, & sea salt and those COMPLETELY blow these out of the water and straight off the planet, no question.

POOR TASTE
