The Castelvetrano has quickly become one of the world's most sought-after varietals. Native to Sicily, these olives are cured without fermentation and kept refrigerated, a key step that locks in its bright, emerald-green color and sweet, mild flavor. What makes our mild pitted green olives stand out from the crowd? Simple, the quality. Our Mt. Athos olives are harvested and sorted by hand in Greece before undergoing a gentle cure. In fact, growers return to the same tree over the course of weeks to ensure each olive is picked only when ripe.
