Pitted Green Olives (Greek Halkidiki)

Greek Halkidiki pitted green olives, also spelt Chalkidiki, are large green table olives with the stone already removed, ready to slice, stuff, cook or eat straight from the pack. Halkidiki is a region of northern Greece, and its green olives are known for their firm, meaty bite and mild, slightly tangy taste.

Why Choose Pitted Green Olives

Pitted green olives save time because there are no stones to remove and no need for a knife. You can scatter them over a salad, chop them for a sauce or put them straight on a meze board. They also suit anyone who wants to avoid the risk of biting into a stone.

Halkidiki olives are firm and crisp rather than soft. They hold their shape well when sliced or cooked. The taste is fresh and mildly salty, less sharp than many smaller green olives.

Ways to Use Green Olives

Green Halkidiki olives work in both cold and hot dishes. These are some common ways to use them:

  • Greek salad with tomato, cucumber, red onion and feta
  • Quick tapenade, blended with garlic, lemon and olive oil
  • Chicken, lemon and green olive tagine
  • Pizza, focaccia and savoury bread dough
  • Pasta sauces with tomatoes, capers and chilli
  • Meze boards with cheese, bread and hummus
  • Stuffed with feta, garlic or roasted red pepper

Tips for Cooking with Pitted Olives

Pitted green olives keep their texture best when added near the end of cooking. Stir them into stews, tagines and pasta sauces for the last 10 to 15 minutes. Long cooking makes them soft and can make a dish saltier.

If the olives taste too salty for your dish, rinse them in cold water and pat them dry. Drying them well also helps when you are adding them to bread dough or pizza, so the topping does not turn watery.

Pitted Green Olives FAQ

Do these olives still have stones?

No, these olives are pitted, so the stones have been removed. They are ready to slice, stuff or add to cooking without any extra prep.

Can I cook with green olives?

Yes, green olives are widely used in cooked dishes such as tagines, braised chicken and pasta sauces. Add them late in cooking so they stay firm.

What is the difference between Halkidiki and Kalamata olives?

Halkidiki olives are green, firm and mild, while Kalamata olives are dark purple and softer with a richer, fruitier taste. Halkidiki olives suit salads, stuffing and lighter dishes.

Add Greek Halkidiki pitted green olives to your basket for your next Greek salad, pizza night or meze spread.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect.

Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.
