toprak

Toprak grades its olives by caliber, like the old olive merchants did — oil-packed sele blacks, kokteyl greens, ızgara, kırma and dry-cured kuru sele.

The Turkish breakfast non-negotiable: serve beside white cheese, tomato and warm bread. Jars and foodservice tins, from our US warehouse.

Toprak Turkish Olives

Toprak specialises in Turkish table olives and covers the styles that actually appear on a breakfast table. The range includes dry cured sele black olives with their characteristic wrinkled skin and concentrated flavour, oil packed sele olives in several calibres, cracked kirma green olives, pimento stuffed green olives and cocktail sizes. Calibre numbers on the label indicate how many olives make up a kilo, so a lower number means a larger fruit and a higher one means small, intense olives.

Choosing and keeping olives

Dry cured sele olives are salty, chewy and best at breakfast with white cheese and bread, while oil packed versions are milder and softer. Always keep olives fully covered by their oil or brine, use a clean utensil, and refrigerate after opening. Bring them to room temperature before serving so the fruit softens.

We buy toprak in small, frequent shipments rather than large annual ones, which is why dates on the packaging are healthy and the flavour is still fresh when it arrives. Many customers combine toprak with other categories in a single order so one delivery covers several weeks of shopping and the free shipping threshold is easy to reach.
