Greek Kalamata olives are prized, almond-shaped, deep purple olives from Greece, known for their rich, fruity, briny flavor with hints of wine vinegar, perfect for salads, antipasto, tapenades, or snacking straight from the jar, often packed in a brine of olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt. They are sun-ripened on the tree, hand-picked, and valued for antioxidants, healthy fats, iron, and vitamins.
