Turkish Olives — Green, Black & Stuffed, Delivered Across the UK

No Turkish breakfast is complete without a generous bowl of olives, and at Turkish Online Market we offer one of the finest selections of Turkish olives available online in the UK. From plump black Gemlik olives to firm green and brine-cured varieties, olives are a daily staple across Turkish, Kurdish, Cypriot and Middle Eastern households — eaten at breakfast, served as meze, and cooked into countless dishes.

The Many Kinds of Turkish Olives

• Black olives (Siyah Zeytin): Rich, soft and savoury — Gemlik types are the classic breakfast choice.
• Green olives (Yeşil Zeytin): Firmer and tangier, excellent for meze and salads.
• Cracked green olives (Çizik / Kırma Zeytin): Marinated with garlic, herbs, lemon and chilli for bold flavour.
• Stuffed olives (Dolgulu Zeytin): Filled with red pepper, garlic, almond or lemon.
• Kalamata-style olives: Glossy, dark and fruity, perfect for Mediterranean plates.

Olives on the Turkish Breakfast Table

The Turkish breakfast, or kahvaltı, is famous for its abundance — and olives sit right at its centre. A typical spread pairs them with white cheese, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, simit, honey, and plenty of black tea. Many people enjoy black olives gently warmed with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, or tossed with thyme and red pepper flakes. At Turkish Online Market you can build this entire breakfast in a single order.

Cooking and Serving Ideas

Olives are far more than a snack. Chop green olives into a zingy zeytin salatası with walnuts, pomegranate molasses, spring onion and parsley. Stir black olives into rice pilaf, scatter them over flatbreads and pides, or add them to slow-cooked vegetable dishes. As part of a meze table, a dish of well-marinated olives alongside hummus, cacık and stuffed vine leaves is always a crowd-pleaser.

Pair Your Olives with Turkish Online Market Favourites

Olives and good olive oil go hand in hand, so it's worth adding a bottle of Turkish extra virgin to your basket. Round out your shop with white cheese, pomegranate molasses, dried oregano, sundried tomatoes and fresh bread. With more than 2,000 authentic products, Turkish Online Market makes it easy to recreate the full Turkish and Mediterranean table at home.

Storing Olives at Home

Keep olives in their brine in the fridge once opened, making sure they stay submerged so they remain fresh and flavourful. Marinated olives are best enjoyed within a couple of weeks of opening. A little olive oil drizzled on top helps seal in freshness and adds extra richness.
