Halkidiki olives are large, green olives from Greece’s Halkidiki region. They have a unique shape and taste. Halkidiki olives are less bitter and have a mild, buttery flavour, making them popular among olive enthusiasts. When harvested early, they are bright green, and as they mature, they turn black-purplish.
To make them ready to consumption, they are typically cured in brine, a mixture of water, sea salt, and rarely vinegar. This process can take several weeks to several months, depending on the desired taste and texture.
Like all olives, Halkidiki olives are a good source of monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health. They also contain antioxidants, including vitamin E and polyphenols, known for their potential to reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage.
Halkidiki olives are prized for their size, taste, and versatility in cooking. They’re a popular snack and can be used in various dishes, adding a Mediterranean touch to any meal. They’re great as table olives or Greek salads, and we offer the largest size for real fine cocktails.
