Kalamata Olives (Unpasteurised)

Premium Handpicked Kalamata Olives from Laconia

Unlike mass-produced supermarket olives, this batch has undergone a meticulous, multi-stage hand-selection process.

Only the firmest and visually flawless olives make it into the jar - guaranteeing close to zero blemishes and a perfect bite every single time.

Why Unpasteurised Matters

We believe in preserving food exactly as nature intended. These olives are strictly unpasteurised and raw fermented, meaning they have never been heat-treated.

This artisan process protects the olive's natural, crisp snap, robust flavour, and high polyphenol content while keeping the gut-friendly live cultures completely intact.

Why It’s in Your Olives

Natural Preservation: It drops the pH of the brine, making things acidic enough to keep harmful bacteria at bay.

Fermentation Byproduct: During curing, friendly lactic acid bacteria go to work on the olives’ sugars and ferment them.

Flavor Boost: That sharp, tangy bite you get from good olives? Thank this ingredient for it.

Texture Control: It helps the olives stay firm, so they don’t turn soft or mushy.

Please Note: Because this is a live, raw fermented product, a completely harmless, thin white yeast layer ("mother of yeast") may naturally form on the surface after opening.

This is a true badge of unpasteurised authenticity - simply skim it away with a spoon before serving.

After opening, keep it in the fridge and consume within 30 days.
