Kalamon olives from Ellis Farm, an authentic expression of Crete

Discover the authenticity of Kalamon olives fromEllis FarmKalamon olives are hand-picked in Crete when fully ripe. This careful harvest respects the natural rhythm of the olive tree, to produce fleshy olives with smooth skins and generous flesh. Each fruit reveals a supple texture and intense flavor, typical of the Kalamon variety.

After harvesting, rigorous selection guarantees consistent quality. The olives are then preserved in a simple brine of water and salt. Sometimes, a thin layer of extra-virgin olive oil completes the preparation. This method preserves the pure flavor of the olives, without masking their natural character or aromatic balance.

When extra virgin olive oil is used, it adds extra roundness and protects the flesh without altering the main aroma.
