In Levantine area we only do two to three days of bulk brine soaking for green olives and five to six days for black olives before put in smaller containers. You don’t want to completely remove the olives taste. I personally like a hint of bitterness when eating them especially if drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice when served.

I totally respect that approach, I’m sure they are wonderful. I find many people just won’t eat them when they are still bitter, no doubt it’s what you grow up with. I thank you for taking an interest in my video.

Hi 😊, why the water don’t go to tree as a form of saying thanks to the tree for their hard work ~ giving nutrients back to the tree? 😢
@scottimage128 күн бұрын
Fair question, I put all rinse water back into the garden but not the heavy brine ... it kills the plants as there's too much salt in it.

Up to 24 months if sealed properly but best eaten within 12 months.

Hi and great video, could you either let us know the salt grain size or a weight (in lieu of the volume based measurement) measurement for the recipe? Ie the % of salt brine. Many thanks,
@scottimage14 ай бұрын
Thanks, I'm glad you like the video. I've always used fine grain salt as it's the most soluble. I've never used weight to measure salt as it needs to be scooped up to use, I just use a measuring cup! Don't get too fussy with measurements when curing, it's really not that critical, however be accurate when mixing the brine when you jar your olives. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the great video. I'm currently trying this method for the first time (after failing last year using a slightly different method). I bought an olive pitter and pitted them as you've suggested, but one thing I've noticed is that where the pit has been pushed out the back of the olive, the surrounding skin has become what I can only describe as 'plasticky'. Do you know why this would be, or if there is something I can do to prevent it?
@scottimage15 ай бұрын
I'm not sure what you mean by plastic. If the olives are not over ripe they will hold their shape, cure & eat nicely once pitted.

Awesome video mate, search forever over the net and came across this gem of a video. Jarred olives tonight with 1/2 tsp mixed heards, tsp chilli flakes and a dash of fresh garlic. Only thing i have concerned is the salt . We had approx 4L of olives with 5L water and 500g salt after a taste the bitterness was gone was a tad salt. Rinsed twice, let it sit in fresh water for two hours and rinsed again was much bettter 😊
@scottimage16 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feedback & glad you found it helpful. The day of jarring I’ll rinse twice & let them sit in straight water for an hour or two, a mild brine mix for the jars is the key. Enjoy!
@chrispbacon28496 ай бұрын
I read further down in comments and the salt brining makes sense! Fill 10L bucket with olives, cover with water and add salt. So if I had 5L of olives I'd halve the salt to 3/4 cup. Bloody legend mate!

One of the more beautiful experiences life has given me was working for farmers in a Cretian Village. Harvesting olives in the hill's and citrus fruits in the valley. Dipping bread into the actual first pressing at the local olive oil factory is such a clear memory 50 years later. I yearn to buy oil that delicious. Every house hold was proud of their own prepared olives and home made cheese.

My crop is so big this year I can barely look at another olive but once I’ve finished I will be ever so popular! It warms my heart to think my video took you back to such fond memories, thank you for your enchanting reflection. Good, wholesome food is a delight which can transport us to a meaningful place and time, yet be a constant if we keep it alive. Thank you for watching my video and sharing your story.

Do you have problem with fruit fly in your olives. We do. We did hang bottles of a natural mixture but did not keep this going. I have to check each one.

I use Apple Cider Vinegar, a good mother one. Last year mine were amazing. I will give one a go. I did them without cutting and pitting and of course this takes much longer, similar ratios but more salt, but I like this one. Can you tell me do you use cooking salt. You forgot to mention this. I would not use table salt as that is stripped of all the goodness and bleached. I also find it hard for all the salt to melt into the water, it doesn't. I would love your thoughts on this please. I also put my jars in bucket of water for a few hours and the labels come off. To sterilise I put in dishwater then close the lids as soon as I take them out. Thank you
@scottimage17 ай бұрын
Thanks for taking an interest in my video. My understanding, the on only real difference between table salt & cooking salt is that table salt is more refined, some table salt may contain anti-caking agents or iodine. The finer the salt the better it will dissolve, cooking salt being coarser will require lots of stirring to get it into solution. I’m lucky to have a friend in commercial food manufacturing who can get me 25kg bags of iodised superfine salt for around 15 bucks. That’s a good tip on the jars, I do much the same thing. I have used apple cider wine vinegar and it works well but prefer the taste of white & red wine vinegar, my favourite brand is Moro. We do have fruit fly in Western Australia but it don’t seem to be an issue here with olive trees. The lure traps you are doing is a good solution if it’s working for you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you for this very informative video. I'm very new to the whole olive curing. Three years ago my neighbor gave an Arbequina Olive tree and today I noticed the tree is loaded with olives🫒 They won't be ready till October/November, but I'll be ready when it's time to cure them. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana.
