Kalamata olives are grown in Kalamata in Messenia and also in nearby Laconia, both located on the Peloponnese peninsula. They are almond-shaped, plump, dark purple olives from a tree distinguished from the common olive by the size of its leaves, which grow to twice the size of other olive varieties. While Kalamata olives are high in sodium, they are also rich in healthy fats and contain a natural antioxidant. Monounsaturated fats may reduce your cholesterol and your chance of heart attack and stroke. Tree Specifications: The Kalamata tree typically bears fruit in its fourth year with low yield productivity and alternating crops from year to year.
