Norpro 1363 Stainless Steel Olive Stuffer, with Comfort Grips, 5.25″, Green

Took apart for agar work instead of olive use

Works great for stuffing olives. I use this for stuffing olives with blue cheese, for the larger olives that are used for martinis most times you need to use it twice on the same olive since it doesn’t hold enough to fill the whole cavity with just one use. But it makes it so simple and fast to do. I used to stuff them by hand and this makes a world of difference it’s worth every penny.

Bought this for the bar I manage to stuff bleu cheese olives. Probably easier than a piping bag or stuffing them by hand, but the chamber is small for our large olives. Would probably be a great buy if we were stuffing smaller olives.

I’m a bartender at a cocktail joint. I hate the filthy smell of blue cheese. I mean I can dig on some dank Roquefort Bleu, but generic cheese crumbles stuffed into olives basting in diluted, ice-cold vodka is not my idea of a good time.

So usually when the weekend rolls around and I see that I have four moldering bleu-cheese-stuffed olives (BCSOs from now on) to last me through the next two nights of serving divorcees and attorneys their forgetting potions, I will beg our underage bar back to please stuff some. This process of course takes so long that I forget what he’s doing and begin to resent him for completing the task that I asked of him.

Enter the Norpro 1363. When I brought this into the bar, my bar back (let’s call him Deezus) couldn’t believe that such an instrument existed. Deezus and I stuffed some olives together and high-fived with slightly less stinky hands. Score!

Cons: Sometimes for large olives it takes two “loads” to get as much bleu cheese in the olives as I prefer. Looks like drug paraphernalia.
