Description
These type of olives origin from Chalkidiki. They are large, have an oval form and pale green color. They are commonly harvested while still young in October. Since they are so large, they are often referred to as the “donkey olive.”
Traditionally, table olives in Greece are harvested by hand, one by one. This is to protect the sensitive skin of the fruits and their texture. Mechanical harvesting can cause some skin defects and result to inferior quality.
These olives are usually processed through brine curing which gives the olives a firmer meat texture. The olive has a soft flavor with a little tartness and a note of pepper.
Often referred to as Chalkidiki, the Halkidiki Olives grows exclusively in Greece in the Halkidiki region which is adjacent to Mount Athos.
