What it is

Pitted Kalamata olives are a variety of olive, specifically a cultivar of the olive tree (Olea europaea). They originate from the Kalamata region of Greece and are known for their deep purple, almond shape, and rich, fruity flavor. After harvesting, they are typically cured in brine or a salt-water solution to remove their natural bitterness and preserve them.

Why it's used

Kalamata olives are primarily used for their distinct flavor and texture, adding a savory, briny taste to foods. They are commonly found in Mediterranean-inspired dishes, salads, pasta sauces, pizzas, and as a table olive. Manufacturers use them to enhance the overall taste profile of 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 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated olives and their components. While generally considered healthy in moderation as part of a balanced diet, their high sodium content due to brining is a consideration for some individuals.

Allergen info

Olives are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA, nor are they a source of gluten. Not a major allergen.
