For centuries, olives have been a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, renowned for their robust flavor, rich texture, and numerous health benefits. Our Green Olives Whole, carefully harvested from the sun-drenched olive groves of Greece, encapsulate the essence of this tradition. These premium quality green olives are stored in brine to maintain their freshness and provide an unparalleled flavor experience that will elevate any dish.
Hand-Picked for Perfection
Each olive in our 215g glass jar is hand-picked to ensure the highest quality. With their firm, meaty texture and mild, slightly tangy taste, these olives are perfect for a variety of culinary uses. Their green color signifies their early harvest, which contributes to their distinctive, less bitter flavor compared to fully ripe olives.

The versatility of whole green olives makes them an indispensable ingredient in any kitchen. Whether you’re preparing a Greek salad, serving a mezze platter, or looking for a healthy snack, these olives are the perfect addition. Their balanced flavor complements a variety of dishes, from Mediterranean-style pastas to gourmet sandwiches.
Salads & Appetizers: Add these whole olives to your favorite salads to introduce a burst of Mediterranean flavor. Pair them with feta cheese, cucumbers, and tomatoes to create a classic Greek salad, or mix them with other antipasti like sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, and cured meats for a flavorful appetizer.
Snacking & Entertaining: As a standalone snack, Green Olives Whole are nutritious and delicious. Serve them alongside a charcuterie board, or add them to a cheese platter for a touch of Greek authenticity. Pairing them with a glass of wine will instantly transport you to the Mediterranean shores.
Cooking: Enhance your pasta dishes, casseroles, or baked chicken recipes with the addition of these savory olives. Their firm texture holds up well during cooking, adding complexity and depth to your meals. For a quick, easy dish, simply toss the olives with olive oil, herbs, and lemon zest.
Health Benefits of Green Olives
Green olives are not just delicious; they’re also packed with nutrients and antioxidants that provide numerous health benefits. They are a rich source of monounsaturated fats, which are known to support heart health. Additionally, olives contain vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Their moderate sodium content, due to the brine, adds flavor without excessive salt intake.
Incorporating green olives into your diet is a smart choice for anyone looking to maintain a balanced, heart-healthy diet. As part of the Mediterranean diet, olives are celebrated for their role in promoting longevity and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Preservation & Packaging
Our 215g jar of whole green olives is packed in brine to ensure they retain their natural flavor and texture. Brine, a mixture of salt and water, is the traditional method for preserving olives and enhances their taste without overpowering their natural characteristics. The use of a glass jar not only helps preserve the freshness but is also environmentally friendly and recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for your pantry.
