Anyone seen Greek kalamata olives here?

[rob0001]

Since it seems impossible to find regular black olives I can use these if I can find them. Any ideas?

Neither have I seen a true black kalamata olive. What is shown in the article is like a pink Olive, in wine vinegar.

Those olives look like they've been soaked in ferrous gluconate. It's been so long since I've had an actual Kalamata olive, I don't remember the taste, but Molanes (molanes.com) do some that are the right colour at least, including "Greek style" olives in oil. YMMV. Available in select supermercados chinos.

I always buy regular black olives in my local supermarket. As to greek olives, I have seen them in the past in the gourmet section of biger supermarkets (they might not be labelled as "Kalamata" but they are greek olives). I am sure that you may find them also at our delis where they sell cold cuts, called "fiambrerias/queserias" and some markets like Mercado del Progreso.

Green olives soaked in reddish alcohol vinegar, became dark red , so called black? Black olives are a variety. Naturally black.

Correct....true black olives are ripe olives in a brine that is salt and water...no vinegar...I don't think those exist here but I could be wrong.
