Here at NolaCajun.com we offer several different brands of muffuletta olive salad and each has their own unique taste. Enjoy your own New Orleans style muffuletta with the home of the original muffuletta, Central Grocery’s Olive Salad. Also, try NolaCajun's Muffuletta Bread.
Founded in 1906 by Salvatore Lupo, a Sicilian immigrant, the store was one of many family owned, neighborhood grocery stores during the early 20th century, when the French Quarter was still predominantly a residential area. It is famous as the home of the New Orleans muffuletta sandwich invented by Salvatore Lupo, to feed the Sicilian truck farmers who sold their produce at the Farmer's Market on Decatur Street in the French Quarter. Central Grocery remains today in the New Orleans French Quarter. A muffuletta (muff-uh-LOT-uh) is a sandwich made with a Sicilian seeded bread commonly known as muffuletta bread. An average muffuletta averages 10 inches in diameter. The inside of the muffuletta contains ham, salami, mortadella and provolone cheese and olive salad. The meats and cheeses in the muffuletta can be found at ay local delicatessen; however, what separates most muffuletta sandwiches is the olive salad.

We are transplanted New Orleanians and when I found the original Central Market Grocery olive salad on your site I almost cried! Ordered 4 bottles for Xmas presents! It arrived 4 days later and was wrapped well so there was no breakage during shipping. It was the biggest hit at Xmas. Thank you!!! I will be ordering again!

  The Best..

This olive salad fits into a "type." The ingredients do not seem so special or different than others available. Yet for some unknown reason, it is superior to any other. It is that simple: it is superior to any other.

Having been to New Orleans countless times over the years, I've enjoyed The Muffuletta at Central Grocery every time. But, when I need my fix, I buy The Olive Salad from Central Grocery to make my 'Po man's version of a Muffuletta (you just can't get that bread in Pittsburgh). And for a little while, I'm transported back to my second favorite City. :)
  Great stuff!

I was in New Orleans not too long ago and had a Muffelletta sandwich from the Certified Grocers shop with this olive salad on it. Great sandwich but now I can make my own great sandwich now that I have the Olive Salad. Can't get enough of it!

This olive salad is more expensive than others I have tried, but this is definately the original, and there is no comparison between them! The olives are huge and not all cut up like the imitation muffuletta salads. Eating this salad is just like being back at the Central Grocery Store. My husband ate the whole jar in one week!

One of my fondest foodie memories was stopping at Central Grocery and getting a muffuletta sandwich. We recently went back and were a little dismayed when we didn't have the time or the luggage space to take some olive salad back with us. We were so excited to find that we could order it here, at a great price! (It also shipped amazingly fast!)
  Simply the best...

This is the best olive salad I've used. Made muffalettas (or my version of) for a the office on Mardi Gras. I did chop it up a little and added a few peppadew peppers, a touch of fresh oregano and a tiny bit of arugula, then follow directions the rest of the way. A truly great sandwich.

Central Grocery Olive Salad is the best. I was in New Orleans for the first time a couple of years ago and had read about Central Grocery and their wonderful muffulettas. I fell in love with the sandwich and the olive salad just by itself. I definitely recommend this product. I made the sandwiches for New Years day and it brought back wonderful memories of your city.

After living on the Gulf and spending lots of time in New Orleans, Central Grocery Olive salad is the BEST! It's the only way to truly get that real mufaletta taste when you cannot get over to Central Grocery in the Quarter. BTW: It's one of the few things that I still love, even 7 months into my pregnancy...!

After a trip to see my brother in New Orleans, I was thrilled to find I could get the Central Grocery Olive Salad shipped to me here in the Boston area.

Great taste. Goes well on salads, or as a side dish. I would love it even more if I could get it processed (chopped); It would be better for sandwiches. Do you sell it that way?

The best there is, hands down. We can't get the right bread for Muffalettas, but this gets us as close as we can to getting one at Central. And in summer, try putting this and provolone on a grilled hot dog....almost heaven, baby.
