What are kalamata olives?
Kalamata olives are normally brined, packed in olive oil or pickled in wine vinaigrette.
Unlike most green and black olives, Kalamata olives are a deep, rich aubergine in color. When they are soaked in vinegar or brined, they may appear almost dark brown or black. On the tree, these purple almond-shaped fruits are hard to miss because of their beautiful color. They also tend to pack more meat than the average black variety.
