Our Olives Assortment
There are two main Greek olive varieties
Kalamata olives
Kalamata olives are probably the best known Greek olive variety. Admired by consumers worldwide for their full, intense flavour with smoky notes and for their succulent yet crunchy texture. Minos Kalamata olives come from the best olive groves in Greece. They are harvested by hand, they are mildly treated and are only naturally cured. All stages, in compliance with strict quality standards.
Chalkidiki Olives
Chalkidiki Olives are named after the Chalkidiki region in Greece where they're mainly grown. When compared to other Green olives, they have particularly meaty and firm flesh with a strong bite, while having a distinctive mellow, buttery flavour. Also harvested by hand and naturally cured they are expertly prepared so that each pack of Minos Green olives encapsulate all unique characteristics of this variety.
The Production
Operating since 1956, our olives' facility has grown to be one of the leading processors of olives in Greece with an annual capacity of ca. 20K tons of olives. Nearly 95% of the production is being exported to six continents around the world. Mediterra Food exports nearly 3 Mio units of olives in Private Label projects and under its own brand.
