Pitted Olives

Among the many different varieties, pitted green olives are considered premium quality when it comes to taste and texture. Compared to black olives, the green varieties have a mellower bite that is buttery, tender, and nuanced. The less intense flavor comes from their earlier harvesting time, when the olives are still green and not fully ripe. Some pitted green olives have large pits, which makes them the perfect size for stuffing with feta or capers.

Another essential ingredient for your pantry, our selection of pitted olives includes the classic black variety; its mild, smooth flavor balances the acidity in tomato sauce, making it an excellent pizza topping or addition to pasta and other starchy bases.
