California Grape Leaves -Orlando 2lb jar, DR.WT. 16oz

Delicious and hard to find - - except you can find them on Amazon!

these are the best ever grape leaves but very pricy i hope i can find some cheaper

I make dolmades about once or twice each month. I have tried a number of different brands and always find these to be the most flavorful and the tenderest. They do not tend to unwrap themselves while cooking like some of the other brand's thicker leaves. There is a bit of a trick to get the first fold out of the jar in one piece especially if you have large hands.

I love dolmades with ground beef, lots of dill and avgolemono, but so far I have been unlucky with the grape leaves. I have tried many different types without much success. They are hard even after I pre-boil them for an hour and I would say about 30% are decent size with the rest of them being mostly unusable. These Orlando leaves are a godsent !!! I pre-boiled them for about 15 minutes just to be on the safe side and they came out very soft and very tasty. Maybe they only need to be blanched. I strongly recommend them. They are a bit more expensive but worth the money !!

Leaves are old and tough.

The leaves were large and uniformed. Been ordering for many yrs.

I needed these leaves to make my special Dolmadakia (stuffed grapevine leaves) for Christmas dinner. There were none available in any of my local grocery stores and I was desperate with only two days before Christmas. Amazon prime had these on my doorstep at 3pm on Christmas Eve. I have to say I never had tried this brand before but I will definitely use them again. Some reviewers stated these were a bit tough but I do not agree. My favorite leaves are direct from my grape vines so I am used to a bit more bite than baby leaves from a jar. They are large and delicious! I was complimented that this batch of leaves were my best ever. Yummy!

The price is way to high
