Italian OLIVES homemade original recipe - Best Way to Preserve Olive at Home

[@joemancurreri6635]

What is amazing is that my grand-parents came to America in 1901 from Cava d'Terrenni, Italy. This is the exact recipe as my grand mother, and Mother used. Same as all his recipes. The traditions have remained after 120 years.

[@chawquee]

in my Country Tunisia (aka Africa aka Carthage ...the old names of Tunisia)..we do this way since 3000 years ..Tunisia is 200km from sicily and 80 km from Lampedusa Italy .. ..By the way Tunisia is the 3rd country after Italy and Vinezeuella in eating Pasta per capita 13 kg per person per year .a part of the pasta culture came from Tunisia . once we were called the basket food of Rome since we grow wheat in the west pf the country ( Durum wheat -semolina ) the origin of Cous cous and most of Pastas . Even the word Macaroni which has no meaning in Italy means in our language the curled thing we called it Macrona as per the spaghetti we know that it came with Marco polo from China .Shortly .This is the Mediterranean culture the best for me. Italians may not are the origin of coffee nor Pasta but they have a great craftmanship that turn anything to a great Product and that's why in the Arab world we have always good vibes toward Italians especially those from the south.

Wonderful recipe! Old school and simple. I live in California. First in Los Angeles, and now in Silicon Valley further north. The olive trees here are amazing. People don't know how to harvest them. I have been telling people how to process olives. I usually pick black ripe olives, wash and salt them in rock salt for 2 weeks, draining out the liquid, then recovering the salt. You shake out the large salt flakes, rinse them in a sieve fast, and dry them in the oven for reuse. The olives are rinsed of salt, soaked in water to remove excessive salt, drained, and packed in oil for a week. Ready to eat after that. I want to try your green olive methods. I also want to pack them in salt and vinegar to make them less calorie heavy. Then give them as gifts. What an amazing food. I love your olive oil recipes too! Mille grazie signore!

I remember my parents using a small 2x4 to break the olives. They used to make 4 to 5 bushels at a time for the year or maybe even more. We ate them all year. Brings back memories. Spectacular

[@memyselfi4423]

Grande!. Love your work. I use a similar method but before I place the olives in the jar, I soak them in white vinegar for 2 hours. I squeeze out the excess vinegar and then place the olives in the jar with oregano and chilli and cover with olive oil. They are great to eat on their own but I like to use them to make a type of salad. I add equal parts of finely chopped carrot, celery and red capsicum to the pickled olives. (3 parts olives to one part of the chopped mixture). This olive salad is delicious on a slice of pasta dura.

Instead of jars put the olives and a bit of olive oil (of course with any seasoning you like) in a vacuum sealing bag and vacuum seal until you get all air out and seal. This way you do not use so much EVOO.
