These are small green olives traditionally produced in the Nafplion area. They are exclusively hand-harvested by local producers to avoid marks and preserve the taste.
Their main processing is “crushing “.
Cracked olives are those that are broken by creating a slit, so they ripen naturally in the brine, allowing the fermentation to take place naturally quickly and thus the herbs to penetrate the olive to give the traditional aroma of Greek herbs.
The cracked olives have a fruity taste, a crunchy flesh and an aroma reminiscent of lemon and Greek herbs.
