Filema – Kalamon Olives 250 g
Kalamon olives (often also called Kalamata) are a classic of the Greek table — dark, fleshy, with character. Filema Kalamon in a 250g portion is a ready-made mezze that goes with everything: from salads with feta, to sandwiches, to a snack board, when you want to serve something simple, yet sophisticated.
Origin and Ingredients
Product of the Filema brand. Origin: Crete, Greece
Ingredients: Kalamon olives in brine (e.g., water, salt, acidity regulator; sometimes also olive oil/spices).
Taste and Texture
Kalamon are usually fleshy, slightly vinous in profile, and distinctly olive-like. They have a pleasant resilience and "hold" their flavor well — which is why they are great in salads, on a board, and as a table snack.
Culinary Use

- salads: classic Greek with feta and tomatoes
- cheese board: with feta, aged cheeses, honey, and bread

Pairing Suggestions
