New Innovative Packaging for “Pathos” Greek Olivesnew packaging

As a Forward thinking company, it is our responsibility to provide our clients the utmost combination of Quality & Price. This is the reason, now that we have developed a new packaging for all of our Greek Olives, which has numerous advantages to our customers. Only one available in UK.

Advantages:

  • No Leaks or oily tub as you will see from the picture. Any leaks are now eliminated thanks to the extra heat seal cover.
  • Less salt and fresher olives – now PATHOS olives, have the absolute minimum salt by Law (3% minimum salt needed for imports to UK), so the olives are healthier and tastier. Also no need for rinsing and soaking to take out the salt.
  • Long shelf life.

Kalamata olivesKALAMATA OLIVES
The most famous olive of Greece with P.D.O (Protected Designate Origin). This excellent qualityvariety derives its name from the area it was originally grown, principally in the region surrounding the town of Kalamata in the south-west of Peloponnisos. It is the second most important variety used in the production of Greek table olives accounting for about 15-25% of total production.

Fruits are cylinder-conical (1/2 to 1 inch), curved, showing a prominent tip at the end. They turn a beautiful black color whenreaching maturity and gain their special organoleptic characteristics from their high oil content. Kalamata olives are processed like the Black olives. Their skin is thin, elastic and has an intense black color when mature, but still retains a good texture. Usually they are incised lengthwise by cutting into the skinand part of the flesh and then marinated in extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.
