Kalamata Olives in Olive Oil – Greek Variety 310g

Kalamata olives have been a cornerstone of Mediterranean tables for centuries, prized for their deep purple-black colour, meaty texture, and rich, slightly wine-inflected flavour. These are packed in olive oil to preserve their character and make them ready to eat straight from the jar or to anchor a Spanish or Greek-inspired spread.

About this product

Kalamata olives are a larger, meatier olive than most Spanish varieties. They have a distinctive dark complexion and a fuller, more complex flavour profile — less briny than green olives, with subtle fruity undertones. Suspended in olive oil, they keep their firmness and absorb the oil's gentle notes over time. A classic Greek staple that sits comfortably alongside Spanish conservas in any pantry.

How to enjoy

• Serve as a tapa with crumbly cheese and crusty bread.
• Pit and scatter over a tomato and feta salad.
• Add to antipasto boards or charcuterie spreads.
• Drizzle the oil into a vinaigrette once the olives are gone.

⭐ Why we love this

Kalamata olives are the benchmark of Mediterranean authenticity—their meaty flesh and wine-touched depth make them irreplaceable on Spanish tapas boards and mezze spreads. Packed in quality olive oil, they're a pantry essential that improves with time, the oil absorbing their character while they hold their firm, luxurious bite.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve alongside aged manchego or crumbly feta with crusty pan de cristal for an effortless tapa, or pair with a chilled glass of Fino sherry—the wine's saline edge complements the olives' briny complexity beautifully. The infused oil also makes a silky base for vinaigrettes on Mediterranean salads.

📍 From Spain

While these Kalamatas hail from Greece's legendary olive groves, El Corte Inglés sources them as a complementary staple to Spain's own olive treasures, honoring the shared Mediterranean pantry tradition. They're stored and shipped with the same care as Spanish conservas, ensuring authenticity reaches your table.
