An authentic product from the Kalamata region of Greece this jumbo olive is considered the king of olives due to its firm texture and deep sharp flavour. A dark purple colour and bullet shape differentiate it from other Greek black olives. The Kalamata olive is processed with vinegar giving it a very distinct flavour. The different shape and dark colour make it an ideal olive to add colour and flair to an antipasto platter. These olives are pitted for convenience and can be used in the same way as a regular black olive for slicing and making tapenade.
