Elara Kalamata Whole Olives

Elara is a Canadian brand that specializes in Mediterranean food products, particularly those sourced from Greece. The brand is a private label owned by Mantab Inc., which has been a significant player in the Canadian food import sector since its establishment in Montreal. Their Kalamata olives are sourced and processed directly in Greece to maintain the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) characteristics, including their distinct almond shape and dark purple color.

The brand's manufacturing process relies on traditional Greek cultivation and preservation methods, using local brine and olive oil. As an import brand, Elara serves as a bridge between Mediterranean agricultural production and the North American market, ensuring that standard European quality controls are applied to every jar. Ownership of the brand remains under the Mantab umbrella, which manages various food brands across the continent.
