Lelia Giant Amfissa Black Olives in Olive Oil 250g

Experience authentic Greek flavor with Lelia’s Giant Amfissa Black Olives, premium hand-picked olives from the legendary valleys of Delphi in Central Greece. Since 1989, the Bogiatzis family has perfected the art of selecting Greece’s finest Amfissa olives, bringing you these exceptional giants in their innovative aluminum packaging.

These impressive olives come from the renowned Conservolea variety, one of the oldest olive trees in the world. In fact, Amfissa olives account for an astounding 70% of all table olives produced in Greece, and they carry prestigious PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status. What makes them truly special starts with their remarkable size and beautifully round shape that distinguishes them from other varieties.

Moreover, Lelia preserves these olives in pure extra virgin olive oil rather than traditional brine. As a result, their natural mildly sweet flavor shines through with delightful lemony and fruity notes, creating a more refined taste experience. The meaty, soft flesh offers a satisfying bite without the harsh saltiness that often overwhelms brine-cured olives.

Furthermore, the innovative aluminum bag packaging locks in freshness while keeping the olives perfectly tender and ready to enjoy. You simply open the bag and taste why Amfissa olives from Delphi have earned their reputation as Greece’s most popular table olive variety. Additionally, because these olives grow in the historic plains near ancient Delphi’s oracle, each bite connects you to thousands of years of Greek olive-growing heritage.

Perfect for Greek salads, mezze platters, Mediterranean cooking, or enjoying straight from the bag as a nutritious snack rich in healthy monounsaturated fats.
