Kalamata Olive Tree
Kalamata olives are the best olive type for food is
considered the Greek "Kalamata Olive" (Calamon Olive), an almond-shaped Greek
olive that ranges in length from about 1/2 to 1 inch.
Kalamata olives (Calamon) are a dark eggplant color and have an excellent
flavor that can be rich and fruity. They're often slit to allow the wine vinegar
"Marinade" in which they're soaked to penetrate the flesh. Kalamata
olives are
marketed packed in either olive oil or vinegar.
Greek olives are not treated with lye. They are strong
tasting because they are just packed in dry salt, or pickled in brine for 6 to
12 months (where they undergo a process of lactic fermentation), and finally
packed in fresh brine
