Halkidiki olives, also known as Halkidiki green olives, are a popular variety of olives that are grown primarily in the peninsula of Halkidiki in Greece. They are named after the region where they are predominantly cultivated.
These olives are large, oval-shaped, and have a firm, meaty texture. They are commonly used for making table olives and olive oil.
Halkidiki olives are known for their mild and buttery flavor, with a slightly sweet taste and a hint of nuttiness. They have a low oil content, which makes them ideal for marinating and stuffing. Halkidiki olives are usually harvested when they are green and unripe, and they are cured in salt and water brine to remove their bitterness.
In addition to their use in table olives and olive oil production, Halkidiki olives are also commonly used in Greek cuisine. They can be stuffed with various fillings such as cheese, garlic, and herbs, and they can be used as a topping for salads, pizzas, and other dishes.
