About Kalamon olive

Kalamon olive is a name used for the Greek table olive associated with Kalamata, generally referring to the same elongated, dark-purple cured olive sold as Kalamata olive. It is typically harvested ripe and cured, then marketed whole, pitted or sliced.

The fruit has firm flesh and a briny, savoury taste that can include fruity or wine-like notes. It is sold in brine, oil or other curing liquids. Because naming and protected-origin labelling may vary, this common name should not be taken to establish a particular producer or origin for every product.
