These authentic Greek green olives are hand-picked from heirloom trees on a single-estate family farm in Sparta, Greece, harvested two months before full ripeness to capture a firm, meaty texture and a bright, grassy flavor that sets them apart from standard grocery store varieties.
How They're Made
Each olive is slowly cured in a natural brine of lemon juice, sea salt, and spring water — no lye, no shortcuts. Once fermented, the olives are soaked in wild Mediterranean oregano with a touch of extra virgin olive oil, creating a savory, herbaceous finish that pairs beautifully with feta, crusty bread, or a simple Greek salad.
Why These Greek Olives Are Different
- Certified organic — grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers
- Raw and unpasteurized — retaining the enzymes and nutrients lost in heat-treated olives
- Naturally fermented — packed with live active cultures that support gut health and digestion
- Lower sodium — cured in just 5.0% sea salt brine, gentler than most commercial olives
- Sourced directly from a single-estate Greek farm — no middlemen, no blending with inferior fruit
Flavor Profile and Serving Suggestions
Expect a crisp, slightly bitter bite balanced by the warm, earthy aroma of wild oregano. These green olives are wonderful on a mezze platter alongside our Black Kalamata Olives and a drizzle of good olive oil. Toss them into pasta, layer them on flatbread, or eat them straight from the jar. Save the brine — it makes an outstanding ready-to-serve salad dressing or marinade for grilled chicken and vegetables.
