The Kalamata olive is a purple olive with a smooth and fleshy texture named after the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnese, Greece. Highly valued for its fleshy and juicy pulp, and its rich, fruity, and robust flavor, this olive is among the most prized in the world; it is used in many Mediterranean recipes: salads, tabbouleh, raw vegetables or carpaccios, pizzas, pasta, risottos; they pair particularly well with tomatoes, Feta, and spinach. Rich in oleic acid, antioxidants (polyphenols and vitamin E), and fiber, they are also a source of minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron) and vitamins (B6). Prepared with organic extra virgin olive oil, organic balsamic vinegar. 180g vacuum-sealed bag.
