What it is

Kalamata olives are a variety of olive native to Greece. They are typically cured in brine, which removes their natural bitterness and preserves them. This curing process also gives them their characteristic deep purple-black color and rich, fruity flavor.

Why it's used

Kalamata olives are often used as a table olive, eaten whole or pitted. They are a popular ingredient in Mediterranean and Greek dishes, such as salads, pasta dishes, and pizzas. Manufacturers may also use them to add a distinct salty and briny flavor to various savory food products.

Health notes

Kalamata olives are a source of healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. The FDA considers olives and olive products generally recognized as safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated olives and their components, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for whole foods in this context. They are a natural food product with a long history of consumption.

Allergen info

Kalamata olives are not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They are also naturally gluten-free.
