Emirelli Dolmas Stuffed Grape Leaves with Rice, Mediterranean Herbs in Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Super Tasty Ready to Eat Vegan Rolls - Traditional Turkish Recipe – Dolmades Can

My step father comes from a Lebanese family and dolmas are one of his favorite. The reviews were mixed when I bought these, so I was anxious to try them when I put them out as an appetizer at our Christmas Eve family dinner. I paired these with a taziki feta dip and everyone really enjoyed them! The rice had great texture and all of the grape leaves were rolled and in tact, which was my concern due to the reviews I'd read. The flavor was the better than the dolmas I was used to with a subtle lemony marinade. They were good with the dip or without! I definitely recommend giving these a try especially since they're a good price. I think there were about 12 dolmas, not as thick as the ones I used to get but these were a little longer. We'll continue to get these!

The leaves were well-selected, harvested at the right time I think.Extra Virgin Olive Oil is best with this food: silky, smooth, nice deep flavor.I felt no hesitation to order this food as a gift delivered to relatives.Only probem is that anyone will eat these grape leaves very quickly. All gone!

My family loves stuffed grape leaves, and this is a great price for so many.(Please see the enclosed pictures.)The flavor is pretty good. The stuffed leaves come in an oil medium.The leaves themselves have a bit of a acid bite to them, thinking they might have been soaked in vinegar or something similar.The insides were surprising and a little disappointing.Other brands have whole kernels of rice in them. These had some kind of spiced, rice paste.The consistency of the stuffed leaves was not what we expected.While the quality of them was fine, minus the dented can you see in the picture.All that said, I probably would not buy these again.

Since I don't feel like making homemade ones in my old age, I have been trying multiple brands of Dolmas from Amazon. So far, after trying about 6 brands, these are the WORST!! Years ago, when I learned to make them, I was told to roll them really skinny--- like a pinky finger. That is how these are. But there is not enough filling to taste anything except tough, heavy, undercooked grapeleaf flavor. They are packed in very watery vinegar/lemon, and very little oil--definitely NOT olive oil. I even tried cooking them more to tenderize them, and adding a little oliveoil and lemon juice. But they were hopeless, because the filling was a joke. NOTHING there. yuck! Try Trader Joes--my 2nd favorite, and most readily available.

I bought the 2 x 14.1 oz. version, with the interior of the can being 2.25" tall, and 3.75" dia. Used to get the TJ dolmas up until they joined the mask cult, so this review is a comparison.They're not literally horrible. They're also not in the same class as TJ dolmas.The rice is weird. It's almost like it's not fully cooked, with an odd texture and some occasional grittiness.The EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) that sold me on this brand was in short supply, and only formed a very thin layer on top of a half inch of water. (Note: TJ dolmas use SOY oil.) There's a hefty shot of lemon juice (Oops, they say citric acid) in that water - perhaps *too* much.They're loosely packed, which accounts for all the water. Didn't count them, but they fill the can.I did eat them without having to choke them down, so I rate them a 3. Maybe you'll like them if you're not expecting TJ dolma quality? It wasn't "my disappointment was immeasurable, and my day is ruined" tier, but I *was* disappointed.They're edible, but not great. :(Oh, the can is nice, albeit with the opening on the 'bottom'. Would be useful for loose change or random small objects.

Last time I ordered these the cans were very dented and a couple so bad that they could not be eaten. The company must have gotten a lot of feedback about that because they were packed so carefully and all the cans were perfect. Theses are so delicious my whole family loves them as a snack or side dish. I love that they use olive oil as it is very hard to find these without the unhealthy oils like sunflower oil and soy bean oil.

They pack loads of dolmas in this little can. Just the right amount of seasonings, too. Nice texture; great taste. LOVE 'EM!

Timely delivery. Excellent taste.
