WHAT'S IN YOUR POT
Kalamata olives traditionally ripened, naturally fermented
Our Kalamata olives are still prepared according to an age-old Greek tradition, where patience is key. No fast industrial processes, but the same method that has been used by local farmers for generations.
The olives are only harvested when they are fully ripe and have developed their deep purple-black color and full, rich flavor. They then undergo a slow, natural fermentation in a simple brine of water and sea salt. Exactly as it has been done for centuries.
No lye or other chemicals
While many commercial olives are treated with lye or other chemicals to accelerate the ripening process, our Kalamata olives are still prepared according to centuries-old Greek traditions. No artificial additives, no chemical treatments, and no compromises on taste or quality.
This slow fermentation creates the characteristic flavor for which real Kalamata olives are known: full, fruity, and slightly wine-like.
A pure natural product, prepared with respect for centuries-old Greek traditions and the authentic flavors of the Peloponnese. Exactly how Kalamata olives are meant to taste.
