Velouitinos olives are naturally fermented, flavoursome and nutritious. Depending on the variety the olives are cured in brine or salt for six months. This period allows for the olives to lose their bitterness and develop their own character. The stone is kept in to preserve and flavour the fruit. No chemicals or preservatives are used during or after the curing process.
Green and Brown Olives
Both olives belong to the “plum” variety, so called due to its shape and size which resembles a plum. The green olives are harvested early, whereas the brown ones are left to mature further. The plum olives are fleshy with robust flavours making them perfect for adding to pizzas and salads.

The producer
Velouitinos is a family-owned olive processing business based in Athens. They originate from the forested Island of Thasos in the North Aegean where their olive groves still produce the organic throumpas in offer. The Velouitinos people work hard to honour their craft and this reflects onto their products.
