The fruit of the olive tree has always been at the core of traditional Mediterranean gastronomy, not only for its flavorful capacity but also for its nutritional value. The health components of table olives have been commended by studies to include bioactive elements, essential amino acids as well as core vitamins and minerals, making them a wholesome nutritious supplement.

A Splendid Suggestion: Olives are a great snack and can be eaten at any time of the day. You can also add them to your salad, on your pizza or in your red homemade sauce. Don’t forget to include them in your cheese platters, as they are great paired with cheese, crackers and other small goods.
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.
