TAZAH California Style Turkish Grape Leaves in Jar – Vegan & Vegetarian – Perfect for Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves) – Tender & Delicious – Net 32oz (Drained 16oz)

UPDATED REVIEW, We have continued to order these leaves. Unfortunately the last jar of leaves were very tough and veiny. Even after simmering for 45 minutes they did not soften to our liking. I'm hesitant to order another large jar. Purchased our first jar after realizing our local grocery stores no longer carry grape leaves. We were a bit hesitant to order such a large glass jar knowing it could break during shipping. It arrived in perfect condition! Leaves are not difficult to remove from the jar. They are wrapped in 4 sections, so you do not need to remove all the leaves at once. Separating the leaves is quite a bit of a struggle due to them being so tender. They can rip quite easily so much patience is required! I rolled ours with ground beef, rice & tomatoes! 2 sections of the jar was enough to fill just over 1 lb of ground beef. I slow simmered the stuffed leaves in a pot for 45 minutes. They turned out absolutely amazing! The most tender and delicious dolmades we have ever had. We turned right around and ordered a second jar to have on hand. This time the jar leaked during shipping. A good bit of the juice had leaked out but not all. We contacted the company to ask if they were safe to use. We got a very quick response (kudos to great customer service)! They responded that they were safe due to preservatives and the fact that the leaves are mostly cooked before packaging. However they insisted on refunding our purchase even though we told them it was not necessary. We ordered a 3rd jar, and it was delivered in perfect condition. We will continue to order this brand!

Best grape leaves I’ve ever ordered! No preservatives, many of the stems are already removed, and the leaves are excellent quality.

These leaves are terrible extremely tough. You can cook them and boil them all day long you will be chewing on plastic. I come from a Greek family where we use grape leaves on a normal basis and this namebrand right here is terrible. I will try a different name brand. Definitely not this one. We usually buy the Greek name brands that we know and we never have a problem. I chose to buy this one this one time only because it offered faster delivery, but never again.

I decided a few weeks ago that I was going to try and make some grape leaves. My mom used to buy them from a middle eastern restaurant in downtown Detroit when I was a kid. The stores no longer carry the leaves in the grocery store so I decided to check on Amazon. The first time I ordered I purchased Cortes Grape Leaves 35oz jar. Turned out to big a big mistake, because they were falling apart as I rolled them. I decided to try Tazah and stuffing and rolling them up was so much more easier and they did not tear. They are baking in the oven now so I Wii post a pic when they are done 😊

I ordered 2 jars. Both were placed in a large box with no bubble wrap or protection so the jars had a lot of room to move around during shipping. One of the jars leaked all over another product I had purchased and thus had to throw out b6due to the seal being broken. In the remaining jar the grape leaves were tasty and large enough to use as wraps. I rated 3 stars due to the shipping. No one likes to pay for an items that has to then be thrown out once received.
