About Greek olives

Greek olives, a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, are a flavorful and nutritious addition to your diet. Originating from regions throughout Greece, these olives come in varieties such as Kalamata, green, and black, each offering a unique taste profile and texture. Rich in monounsaturated fats, Greek olives are heart-healthy, promoting balanced cholesterol levels and supporting cardiovascular health. They are also a source of antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, olives provide small amounts of iron, calcium, and dietary fiber. Despite their health benefits, they can be high in sodium due to curing processes, so moderation is key for those watching their salt intake. Enjoy Greek olives as a snack, in salads, or part of traditional dishes like tapenade, and savor their distinct taste while reaping their nutritional rewards.
