Pitted Kalamata Olives

Kalamata Olives (also spelled Calamata and often referred to simply as “Greek olives”) are grown in Kalamata, Greece and the surrounding countryside. They are unique and celebrated among olives for their distinctive almond shape, meaty texture and dark aubergine color. Once harvested, Kalamatas are split or cracked to allow the red wine vinegar and herbs in the brine to fully permeate the flesh.
