Hellenic Sun Organic Kalamata Olives 6 x 330g

Hellenic Sun Organic Kalamata Olives are whole Greek olives with a deep purple-brown colour, firm yet fleshy texture and distinctive savoury flavour. Naturally rich and fruity, Kalamata olives have a gently tangy character that works well in salads, pasta dishes, pizzas and Mediterranean-inspired recipes.

The olives are grown in Greece and harvested before being prepared in a traditional brine. They are packed with water, organic vinegar and sea salt, with a small amount of organic extra virgin olive oil contributing to the flavour and appearance of the finished product.

These are whole olives with their stones intact. Keeping the stone inside can help preserve the olive's shape and firm texture while it remains in the jar. The stones must be removed before the olives are chopped, blended or added to recipes where they may not be clearly visible.

The brine provides a balanced combination of saltiness and acidity, complementing the naturally fruity and slightly bitter notes of the Kalamata variety. The olives can be drained and served directly from the jar or rinsed briefly if a milder flavour is preferred.

Serve the olives as part of an antipasti board with bread, roasted vegetables and cheese, or add them to Greek salads, grain bowls and cold pasta dishes. They can also be used to bring savoury depth to pizzas, focaccia, tomato sauces and slow-cooked recipes.

For cooking, remove the stones and roughly chop the olives before stirring them into pasta sauces, casseroles and vegetable dishes. They can also be blended with olive oil, herbs, garlic and capers to make a tapenade-style spread.

The olives are certified organic and prepared without added preservatives. They are pasteurised for shelf stability before opening and are suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Each 330g jar has a drained weight of approximately 180g. This case contains six jars, providing 1.98kg total net weight and approximately 1.08kg total drained weight.
