Two things can be inferred from the fact that this is the 5th
hummus I have reviewed on this blog in 8 months:
1. Trader Joe’s sells a wide variety of hummus
2. We like hummus
This variety did not disappoint!!
It really tasted like kalamata olives!
I mean, that should not be surprising since it is named “Kalamata Olive
Hummus”, but still, it made me happy. J

| Like all Trader Joe's hummus, this is cheap |
I had this hummus with TJ’s blue corn chips (reviewed on day 72). It was oh so good. It is creamy and tasty and the olive flavor is
a great compliment to the chips.
I have friends who make their own hummus (you know who you are Ghatasheh
family…). I am too lazy for that, and
when I find hummus options as yummy as this one I do not feel guilty about
buying pre-made stuff.

1. Mediterranean (day 78)
2. Roasted Garlic (day 109)
3. Kalamata Olive (today!)
STOP THE PRESSES – before I posted this review I went into the living
room where David is and asked him to sample it.
Sadly, his opinion was not as high as mine. He said it tastes a bit, and I quote, “briney”. I get that.
He also stated that he normally eats kalamata olives WITH his hummus, so
this version of having the olives blended in made him miss the individual “meatiness”
of each olive. I will give him
that. Even with those criticisms, he
gave this hummus a rating of 4.

| David - an olive and hummus fan |
I give it a rating of 4.5, so I will average the two ratings together
for the official blog rating.
Price – $1.99
Rating (average of 2) – 4.25
