Greek Green Olives Stuffed with Feta & Mizithra Cheese — Chalkidiki, 12 oz Jar

Hellenic Farms Greek green olives, stuffed with a blend of authentic PDO Feta and creamy Mizithra cheese, marinated in sunflower oil with basil, oregano, and dried hot pepper. Produced by Hellenic Farms — a certified 100% Woman Owned Business founded in 2013 by Vivianna Karamanis, dedicated to bringing authentic Greek gourmet to the American table. Stocked in Whole Foods and fine grocery stores across the US.

Two of Greece's most celebrated foods — olives and cheese — combined into one. Each olive is stuffed by hand with a blend of PDO Feta and mild Mizithra cheese, then marinated with Mediterranean herbs. The result is a bite that delivers everything at once: the briny snap of a good Greek olive, the tangy richness of Feta, the creaminess of Mizithra, and the warmth of basil and oregano.

The cheese inside

• PDO Feta — Greece's most celebrated cheese, made from sheep's and goat's milk, tangy and bold with a briny character that pairs perfectly with the olive
• Mizithra — a traditional Greek whey cheese, mild and creamy, that softens the Feta's sharpness and adds a smooth, rich texture to the filling

What makes these different

• Premium Greek green olives — firm, meaty, and briny — the ideal vessel for cheese stuffing
• Authentic Greek cheese blend — real PDO Feta and Mizithra, not a generic cheese filling
• Herb-marinated — basil, oregano, and dried hot pepper for Mediterranean depth
• Hellenic Farms — certified woman-owned, every product done and grown in Greece

Ingredients: Green pitted olives, Mizithra cheese, Feta cheese, sunflower oil, salt, herbs (basil, oregano, dried hot pepper in variable proportion), acidity regulator: citric acid.

How to serve

• Cheese boards and mezze — the centrepiece of any Mediterranean spread alongside Graviera, Kalamata olives, and cured meats
• Cocktail hour — serve with toothpicks as an elegant no-prep appetizer
• Greek salads — add whole or halved to a Horiatiki for a cheese-stuffed upgrade
• Pasta — toss halved stuffed olives into pasta with cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Mizithra cheese?
  Mizithra is a traditional Greek whey cheese made from the leftover whey of Feta or other sheep's milk cheeses. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavour and a creamy texture — similar to ricotta but with a distinctly Greek character. It balances the sharpness of the Feta and creates a smooth, rich stuffing.
• Are these spicy?
  Mildly. The marinade includes dried hot pepper, but the heat level is gentle — more of a warm background note. Suitable for most palates.
• How long do they keep after opening?
  Refrigerate after opening and consume within 5–7 days. Keep the olives submerged in the oil to maintain freshness.
• Can I use the oil from the jar?
  Yes — the herb-infused oil is excellent for dressings, drizzling over salads, or dipping bread.
