What is the difference between Kalamata olives and black olives?

  • Kalamata olives and black olives might look pretty similar but they are actually very different.
  • You likely associate olives with Greece. Or perhaps the Mediterranean in general. Kalamata olives are grown only in a very specific region (Kalamata). Kalamata is an area within Messinia in Greece. Whereas black olives can be found across the world. It's like sparkling wine vs Champagne.
  • Kalamata olives are larger than black olives. They are usually about twice the size.
  • They are also differently shaped. Kalamata olives are longer and thinner with a sharper end. They are also a soft purple color.
  • Kalamata olives have a much milder taste than black olives. They are almost sweet and fruity. But they do still have the sharpness that you associate with olives in general.
  • Kalamata olives are very soft in comparison to almost any other type of olive. They almost fall off their pit and are very easy to eat. They almost fall apart in your mouth before you have a chance to chew them.
  • Black olives are very different in comparison. In terms of texture, black olives are more similar to standard green olives than Kalamata olives. They have a tough and chewy flesh. It is hard and almost rubbery.
