Note to EU traders only: In June 2022 a new decision was enforced for all EU members that the trade name of the variety “Kalamata Olives” will be used only for olives coming from Messinia region, an area that contributes less than 1% of the total production of this variety in Greece.  The majority of the variety in EU will be traded as “Kalamon olives” which is exactly the same and in some cases superior in taste and quality to the ones growing in Messinia region. Outside EU, Kalamata Olives will be traded as usual.
