Homemade Thassos Throumpes Black Olives PDO 200g

Experience the legendary taste of Thassos with Ilida’s Homemade Throumpes Olives, a truly unique Greek treasure. These exceptional olives represent centuries of tradition from the “Emerald Island” of Greece. Moreover, they hold prestigious PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, guaranteeing authentic Thassos quality.

Throumpes olives possess remarkable characteristics unlike any other olive variety. First, they ripen naturally on the tree without human intervention. In fact, they’re the only olives that can be eaten straight from the branch. Furthermore, harvested during winter months when fully mature, they develop their distinctive wrinkled, raisin-like appearance.

The traditional salt-curing process enhances their unique character beautifully. After harvest, they’re cured in coarse sea salt for 2-6 months. Consequently, these small black olives offer meaty texture with intensely concentrated flavor. Additionally, they contain approximately 50% oil content, making them extraordinarily rich. The resulting taste combines strong olive character with delightful bitter-sweet notes.

These versatile olives work wonderfully in Mediterranean cuisine. For instance, drizzle them with extra olive oil and oregano for traditional serving. Alternatively, add them to Greek salads for authentic island flavor. You can also use them in pizza toppings or potato salads. In addition, they pair perfectly with red wine or ouzo.

Each 200g aluminum pouch provides generous portions of these rare delicacies. Simply open and experience why Thassos has been famous for olives since ancient times.
