Pitted Kalamata Olives

About this product

This product carries a wellbeing score of 28%, indicating a relatively low nutritional profile, while its safety score of 88% suggests it is generally safe to consume. The low wellbeing score reflects the high sodium and fat content typical of brined olives, which may not support daily health goals if eaten in large portions.

Key ingredients like Kalamata olives provide a rich, briny flavor and healthy monounsaturated fats, while vinegar adds tanginess and acts as a natural preservative. Salt enhances taste and helps preserve the olives, and sunflower and corn oils contribute to a smooth texture. These elements work together to deliver the characteristic Mediterranean taste and shelf stability.

The main concern is the high sodium content from salt, which can be problematic for blood pressure when consumed in excess. The preservative E202 and stabilizer E509 are present in low amounts, with minimal associated risks. The overall low wellbeing score stems from the salt and fat levels, which may not align with daily nutritional recommendations.

Enjoy these olives as an occasional treat, but be mindful of portion sizes due to their sodium and fat content.
