Kalamata

Kalamata olive oil, pressed from the famous dark-purple Kalamata olives found in Greece’s Peloponnese, is celebrated for its rich, robust character and smooth balance. Typically medium to full-bodied, it offers aromas of freshly cut grass, tomato leaf, and sometimes ripe fruit, followed by a palate that combines peppery spice with a subtle bitterness - both signs of high antioxidant content. The oil’s deep, fruity complexity makes it versatile in the kitchen: it elevates simple salads, grilled vegetables, and seafood, yet also holds up beautifully in slow-cooked dishes. Beyond flavour, Kalamata olive oil is prized for its health benefits, being naturally high in polyphenols and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
