Pitted Kalamata Olives Supplier for Importers & Distributors
Source pitted Kalamata olives for wholesale distribution, Mediterranean foodservice, antipasti selections, salads, pizza toppings and prepared-food manufacturing. Define your required olive cultivar, origin, size grading, color, pitting quality, flavor, brine specification and packaging before requesting a commercial quotation.
Kalamata-type table olives are valued for their elongated shape, dark purple-to-black appearance and distinctive savory flavor. Removing the pit can make the olives easier to portion and incorporate into commercial recipes, although buyers should still define acceptable tolerances for residual pits or pit fragments.
STAR FOODS welcomes enquiries from international buyers serving the USA, Canada, Europe and other markets. Confirm the actual olive cultivar and country of origin before approving any Kalamata-related product description or destination-market labeling.

Pitted Kalamata Olives: Product Specifications & Applications
Pitted Kalamata olives can be evaluated for Greek-style salads, Mediterranean antipasti, pizza toppings, flatbreads, olive spreads, catering and prepared-food production. Commercial buyers should verify the offered cultivar, origin, preparation and pitting specification rather than assuming all dark pitted olives are identical.
For consistent purchasing, establish measurable product acceptance criteria and evaluate samples under your intended handling conditions.
- Olive cultivar and declared origin: confirm the actual olive variety, country of cultivation and suitability of the proposed product name for the destination market.
- Caliber and fruit shape: specify the preferred size grade, approximate count per kilogram, elongated fruit appearance and acceptable variation.
- Pitting quality and residual pit tolerances: define acceptable levels of whole pits, pit fragments, damaged fruit and incomplete pitting.
- Color and ripeness: establish the desired dark purple, brown-purple or black appearance, color uniformity and visual acceptance criteria.
- Texture and flavor: evaluate flesh firmness, skin integrity, acidity, salt balance, bitterness and characteristic olive flavor.
- Brine specification and usable yield: confirm packing medium, relevant analytical requirements, net weight, drained weight and usable fruit count.
For salads and antipasti, assess whole-fruit appearance, flavor and bite. For pizza and prepared-food manufacturing, evaluate pitting quality, portioning, handling performance and consistency across sample packs.
