Habanero stuffed olives

So years go i used to buy Mario brand manzanilla olives stuffed with habanero peppers. I cannot find habanero stuffed MANZANILLA olives anywhere. I even called Mario company, they dont make them anymore. 

Has anyone seen these anywhere? I want to buy some, at least a couple jars. If i like them, then a few cases at least. Help me!!!!!!!!!


Note: I do not want queen or colossal or whatever olives. Only manzanilla.

    Try stumps hot olives I think he makes a habanero version. But it may not be the variety you are looking for.  He does make a great product though.

    @SmokeyPitt those look like some big olives. I am looking for the ones that are a lottle bigger than like a mini marshmallow. The Mario ones were called manzanilla. I have some kroger olives called manzanilla and they are small.

    So i finally talked to someone at Mario Camacho foods, they discontinued them. 

    I just got done making my own. I used a plastic chopstick to poke all the pimentos out of a jar of olives. Then i sliced up some habanero and stuffed them all. Put them back in the jar and poured the brine back in. 

    Any ideas on how long it will take the peppers to get soft and brined?

    The stumps hot olives are anything but. Good olives but not hot. These are what I stuffed today. Prefer smaller olives but they will work for the test run.
