Kalamata olives are black to dark purple in color, almond-shaped and extra juicy. Their rich fruity flavor is revealed thanks to time-honored traditions: the olives are sun-ripened on the tree before being harvested by hand. They are then marinated in a brine of natural vinegar, with no added preservatives.Use them to create an authentic Greek salad, to accompany cheese or to add the color and taste of the Mediterranean to your vegetable trays.
