BEST Method to Brine OLIVES at Home - Olive recipe

[@williamkuhns2387]

The most likely theory how ancient peoples learned how to make olives edible was by accident of nature! Wild olive trees grew along the sea shore of the Aegean sea of Greece. Ripe olives fell off trees into tidepools and floated for a time (the ocean in that part of the world is very calm) and an ancient Greek who has been lost to time decided to taste one of these natural brined wild olives and they had a "Eureka" moment! The rest is history. In Santa Barbara, California there is an olive company that brines olives naturally in sea water. The olives are packed into box cages and floated off shore to brine naturally. I read about this in a magazine.

[@jwbnscacpt]

@@markroberts528don’t you think they would be washed off or do you think they would absorb into the olive? Can’t avoid modern pollution. Better this than say a packaged mass produced food of whatever sort IMO.

You presented a great video! I have lived in Southern California over 60 years and your traditional method has been with our family from Mexico to central California. It's nice to see others also preserving our agricultural heritage. I've always preferred a hands on approach as apposed to store bought fruits and meats especially after being raised in an agricultural and livestock society. Thanks for your efforts in this production.

Here, Greece, all neighbors know me. But better than them they know me their trees. There are so many olive trees around so you can choose any kind of olives you like. This year I made 18 kg of the famous type "Kalamon". I like a bit bitter. But usually I use 11% salt and 4% vinegar. In ratio to water. Then I preserve them in jars with virgin olive oil. I add fresh origano and thyme from my yard. They last more than 2 years. Maybe longer but I never had the opportunity to save them. I learned a lot from this channel. Now a new method to make olives.

Nice video. Will certainly try your recipe next season. Thanks. Personally I prepare Kalamata black olives by salting them high (about 200g coarse salt + 100g fine salt per kg olive) and keep them in a fabric bag in a strainer under HEAVY pressure for approx. 2 weeks (yes, I mean HEAVY pressure), stirring the bag every 2 or 3 days to redistribute the salt. Result is MARVELOUS! Very little tasty and inspiring bitterness, moderate to low salt (after rinsing with fresh water before serving), very little moisture content, and full strength of black olive's great, original aroma and oil content.

Great process. The problem is waiting for fresh olives to be available here in Australia. A lot of people plant olive trees in pots as ornamental plants these days but most of our olive trees are in south central Australia (South Australia) which has a Mediterranean climate where a lot of our wine also comes from. I love the idea of using olives as fruit for salads. I buy olives in brine and soak them so they don't have so much salt to use to serve as antipasto or in salads. I don't have a strong taste for salt and use lots of herbs and fruit and vegetables for intense flavours 👩🏻‍🌾🤷🏻‍♀️😊

Thank you for a change. A new sub to your 436K! For years I rinse olives daily for 15-20 days (doing now autumn in Australia), then a brine/red wine vinegar recipe. Your salting process looks like they retain deep colours and possibly flavours? After 20 days of rinsing, they pale in colour, but taste great, but the red wine vinegar, chile/garlic are probably responsible for that.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

[@sawitonline7998]

In Palestine the way we do it is we just mix salt with the water until you could float an egg once that happens you’re good to go. You could pickle whatever you like. If you wanna pickle faster, you could crack each olive to speed up the pickling process if you want to prolong the process no need to crack.

Hello Sir. Can we add vinegar after 2 weekks keep the olives in salt to make them taste of pickle? If yes, how? If no, why? Thanks a lot.

Can I put the olives after salting in olive oil then preserve ?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

I never tried but I think is possible

[@cutiko]

I have used this method but the skin is still hard, any recommendations?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Are the olives sweet or bitter?

[@Ghruul]

does that method of "vacuuming" it also work with other contents? with freshly made tomato sauce for example?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

I never tried 🤔

[@tinadisano3168]

I followed this recipe and ended up with olives that were very salty and still a tiny bit bitter (after sitting in the brine since December 28th. (Removed Feb 5). Any tips on how to have a more mild flavor? Thank you!!

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Put them 1 night in fresh cold water

Can I just store them in the pantry after boiling the jars? Or refrigerator storage is better?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Pantry 👍🏼 or basement

I've just placed them with salt... I didn't hear you say whether to rinse them after the 14 days with salt or keep the salt? I don't have many just 1/2 kilo from a small tree in a big clay pot..... so I won't store them.... should I add the spices now while they are in the salt? or after the 14 days in the salt? thank you!!

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Keep the salt Add the spices after the salt

[@albilekaj5054]

Can i use this recipe for green olives too? Is it necessary to crush for the bitterness to dissapear?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Are the green olives small or big?

[@albilekaj5054]
