  • About
  • Calamata (Kalamata), purple-black and shiny, with an elegant almond shape, are considered superior olives. Small ones have the richest flavor.
  • Naphlion (Naflion) are dark khaki-green, cracked and crisp, and taste fresh-fruity with a tart bite.
  • Royal (Royal Victoria) are red to light brown to dark brown. Cured in olive oil and vinegar, they are like Calamatas in flavor and richness. Superbly luscious.
