For five generations, a family in Greece has cultivated these rare gems. What you're getting are authentic kalamata olives — specifically the Kalamon variety, the elongated, almond-shaped cultivar prized across the Peloponnese for its deep, wine-like richness. Unlike industrial farming where olives are shaken from trees (often bruising the fruit), our kalamata olives are painstakingly picked by hand at the moment of perfect ripeness. This ensures that every olive in the jar is firm, flawless, and bursting with flavor.
Why These Kalamata Olives Are Different
Naturally Cured, No Preservatives
Check the label on most supermarket olives and you'll find lye, color stabilizers, and preservatives. Not here. We believe in the old ways. Our kalamata olives are preserved using traditional fermentation in a sea salt brine. This slow process naturally cures the fruit without synthetic colors or additives. It is just the olive, the water, and the patience of time.
Meaty Texture & Lower Sodium
Because we don't rush the curing process, we don't need to blast the olives with excessive salt. The result is a Greek black kalamata olive that is rich and meaty — never mushy — with a sodium content lower than most commercial brands. You can actually taste the fruit, not just the brine.
Whole or Pitted?
We offer them two ways to suit your style. Choose Pitted for easy snacking and cooking (perfect for those searching for kalamata olives without pits!), or Whole if you prefer the traditional experience where the meat falls effortlessly off the stone.
