Kalamata Blonde

Zelected Kalamata Blonde Olives – fresh, mild flavour from Greece

Zelected Kalamata Blonde Olives are an exciting variation of the classic Kalamata olives. Unlike the well-known dark purple olives, Kalamata Blonde are harvested while still green and not fully ripe. This gives the olives a fresher, milder flavour with less intensity, while still retaining the distinctive Kalamata character. The result is an olive that’s easy to enjoy and works with many different dishes.

Perfect for tapas and as a snack

Kalamata Blonde Olives are ideal as a snack or as part of a tapas board. Their mild, fresh flavour makes them suitable for both kids and adults and pairs perfectly with cheese, charcuterie, bread and dips. Serve them as they are, or lightly marinate them with olive oil and herbs for extra flavour.

Great for salads and cold dishes

In salads, Kalamata Blonde Olives add a fresh, lightly salted element without overpowering the dish. They work especially well in green salads, pasta salads and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, where their mild flavour balances vegetables, cheese and dressings.

Use in hot dishes and baking

Kalamata Blonde Olives can also be used in hot dishes and baking. They’re great in oven dishes, focaccia, bread and vegetable dishes, where they keep their texture and add a light, aromatic flavour. Their mild character makes them easy to pair with fish, chicken and vegetarian dishes.
