These deep purple, almond-shaped table olives are firm, robust in flavor, tender, and "sweet." A must-have for Greek salads and appetizer platters. Named after the city of Kalamata in the Peloponnese peninsula, these kalamatas are hand-selected and gently cured in a sweet vinegar brine to develop their full taste. Their delectable brine is prepared with genuine vinegar, sea salt, and a touch of grape must for sweetness.
