What are the best olives for Greek salad?

I like the dark . I always buy them sliced bottled. There is no guarantee the pit is out or a shard. I almost broke a tooth from a olive bottled supposedly pitted. Either but them with the pit and expect it or pit them yourself. Be safe with those choppers. Green can be bitter.

That happened to me too LOL! Yeah you gotta be careful especially when mixing them into salads
I usually buy a variety. However, I couldn't find Jumbo Black olives this year. Only found kalamata from Greece. I bought a variety of Mediterranean olives to supplement it with some black, green olives in the jar, but they are from Italy, not Greece.

My favorite are Kalamata, but I LOVE a good, sturdy green Greek olive once in a while. It all depends on what I can find and what my mood is. Sometimes I like to include a medley of both in my salad.

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.

I have learned so much about Greek cuisine by being on this forum! I know that there are standard recipes that everyone seems to cook.
For example, you can get souvlaki all over. Everyone seems to serve a village salad with slight variations. Most regions seem to make moussaka. There are tons of others.
I have also noticed that each region has their own specialties. How do you go about learning about them?
