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.

Halkidiki olives are large-sized olives with a firm and crunchy texture. They are harvested when green and often served as stuffed olives with various fillings, such as cheese, almonds, or peppers. Halkidiki olives are primarily grown in the Halkidiki region of northern Greece.
