Thread: Salt cured Olives ???

Hi Sly
The better half worked on a biodynamic farm with a big olive orchard.She has mentioned the salt cured olives before.
She is up in Perth for a couple of days,will ask when she is back.
I love olives.Got 15 Kalamatas,will get our first harvest this year,getting close to picking.Not many but enough for a few jar fulls of pickled olives and chillis!!!

Hey Sly
Olives reminds me of a prank we played on a not so clever workmate last year.
There is a huge old olive tree in the depot,only has tiny olives on it.Me and a mate were looking at them as they were nice and black and ready to pick.We tricked the not so clever one to try one,telling him we had eaten a few real nice ones.He told us he loves olives and put one in his gob,he chewed it spat it out and was doing handstands.MATE YOU MUST HAVE GOT A BAD ONE we told him!!!! YEP he grabed another
We both burst out laughing,the poor bloke was not impressed at all.

Thats a cracker Andy, poor bugger never new what hit him. My spanish neighbour bites them raw to workout what tree to harvest next. Got 12 trees here all about 40 years old, great producers,filled a plastic 44 drum with pidgon egg size fruit.Leached them in water for 3 weeks, then divided and resoaked in brine,garlic,herbs ect.
Had a tube set up that put a neat slice in the skin of every olive,alows the bitternes to be leached out quicker.
Great snack food and like you have said before when its home done its all good.

Will show the Mrs the post and get her to Reply as its her expertise.
They did both the brine and salt.
Intend making my own press to do homemade olive oil too
Stainless pipe drilled and a jack should work.
