Fontana Kalamon Olives

Fontana is a prominent Swedish brand with deep Greek roots, specializing in Mediterranean food products. Founded in 1978 by Frixos Papadopoulos, the company was the first to introduce halloumi cheese to the Swedish market and has since become a staple for olives, oils, and cheeses.

These Kalamon olives are grown and harvested in Greece, specifically in the Kalamata region, adhering to traditional harvesting methods. While the brand is headquartered in Sweden, the products are sourced directly from Greek farmers and processed in manufacturing facilities in Greece to maintain authentic quality and Protected Designation of Origin standards where applicable.

The brand remains a family-owned business, managed by the second generation of the Papadopoulos family. It operates as Fontana Food AB, headquartered in Tyresö, Sweden, maintaining its position as a leading independent distributor of Mediterranean specialties across Scandinavia.
