Pitted, marinated in brine and a mixture of herbs from the Greek land, these olives are full of natural flavor. Mildly seasoned with oregano, they can accompany any dish, with white wines or refreshing salads.
Oregano is an herb associated with the Greek diet. On grilled meats, as well as in a dish with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, some coarse salt and a rusk makes all the difference. It has anti-inflammatory properties and protects the heart, while it also activates the digestive system.
The green olives of Chalkidiki with herbs ideally accompany the rare Kidonitsa variety from Monemvasia, a robust wine that balances the intensity of oregano, as well as Retsina from the Savvatiano variety.
