Greek Garlic Marinated Green Olives

These garlic olives are nothing like the garlic-stuffed varieties you find at the grocery store. Instead of a single clove crammed inside a pitted olive, our Greek green olives are slow-marinated in USDA organic garlic and a touch of extra virgin olive oil, letting the garlic flavor infuse deeply into every bite.

Why Garlic Powder Instead of Fresh Cloves

Most garlic-flavored olives use fresh garlic cloves, which requires pasteurization by law to prevent botulism risk. That heat treatment kills the beneficial bacteria your gut depends on. We use organic garlic powder instead, which does not require pasteurization — so our olives stay raw, unpasteurized, and full of live active cultures. You get all the bold garlic flavor with none of the probiotic compromise.

How They're Made

Our traditional heirloom olives are picked two months before full ripeness from a single-estate family farm in Sparta, Greece, then brined slowly in lemon juice, sea salt, and spring water. After fermentation, each batch is soaked in USDA organic garlic with a touch of olive oil. The result is a savory, garlicky olive with a firm, meaty bite and a complex, tangy finish that only natural fermentation can produce.

What Sets These Garlic Olives Apart

• Certified organic — no pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers
• Raw and naturally fermented — packed with live active cultures and probiotics
• Lower sodium — cured in just 5.0% sea salt brine
• No pasteurization — keeping beneficial bacteria alive and active
• Greek heirloom variety — picked early for a firmer, more flavorful olive
• Contains pits — for better flavor and texture during fermentation

Serving Suggestions

Ready to eat straight from the jar. These marinated olives are perfect for cocktails (try them in a dirty martini), charcuterie boards, antipasto platters, or as a bold appetizer on their own. Garlic is a potent natural antibiotic known to support immune and digestive health, making these antioxidant-rich olives as good for your body as they are for your palate.

Pro tip: Save the brine — it makes an outstanding ready-to-serve salad dressing or marinade for grilled chicken and vegetables.
