KALAMATA OLIVES
Kalamon Olives
Kalamon Olives are chiefly found on the Peloponnese peninsula within southern Greece. This dark cherry-sized fruit not only tastes great but is praised by doctors and dieticians as one of the healthiest foods on earth as it is high in sodium, rich in healthy fats and contains natural antioxidants.
At Liotrivi Organic Estate, Kalamon Olives are harvested by hand at the time when they have a suitable size and have a natural black color which proves their precise stage of ripening. Their curing takes place in water and natural sea salt for about seven months, giving the fruit a firm and shiny appearance as well as a rich aroma and a sweet distinctive taste, which is characteristic for this variety. The olives are then marinated in vinegar.
This is an ideal product for snacking, platter serving, for the most popular ‘Greek-salad’ but also as an accompaniment to any meal.
GREEN OLIVES
Athinoelia Olives
Fresh robust green olives harvested from our orchards, which present a very smooth flavor and enduring taste. Athinoelia Olives are picked and sorted by hand before going through the process of becoming ripen and preserved in brine from natural sea salt.
This variety presents low acidity and is marinated in lemon juice. As always fresh and special, this is an authentic raw material utilized in native traditional dishes. These fruits are excellently combined with seasonal greens, boiled vegetables as well as raw seasonal salads.
They represent a subtly fresh delicious appetizer of the Mediterranean diet, truly enjoyed with one of our dry wines.
