Akarca Farm Kalamata Olives
In organic olive oil with lemon slices
Turkish variety of Kalamata olives which is known as the donkey’s teat in Turkey has the usual characteristics of the regular Kalamata olives. The olive has a slightly elongated oval shape and much bigger in size compared to the other varieties. The meaty part is much bigger compared to the pit. As the olive oil ratio per weight is much lower than the other olives, until recently, it was used as a pollination tree in the olive groves in Turkey.
The best Kalamata olives are selected after calibration and processed with century-old Akarca Farm techniques to produce the most enjoyable olives. After an appropriate time in a water & brine solution, they are left immersed in olive oil with lemon or Seville tangerine slices for a further six months until they develop their signature flavors.
In this way, during these six months, the olive fruit and olive oil keep interacting and exchanging and adding flavors, bringing each other to a perfect combination and true pinnacle of flavor and taste.
If we compare the edible olives, olive sold in a brine solution is like canned fruit and olive sold with olive oil is like fresh fruit.
