Olive's Olives - Green Table Olives

Green Table Olives - 210g

The green ripe olive harvest happens in mid-Autumn when the olives are still green or ‘turning colour’. This ‘green ripe’ harvest ensures that when fully debittered they are ready to eat. The flesh is firm and there is quite a distinct pleasant umami savory taste. If you love snacking on olives, or enjoying olives with your aperitif it's probably because of the umami factor, a mix of sweet, salty and bitter. Some people report a hint of a nutty aftertaste. 

Processing is carried out in 220L barrels in a 10% brine (salt) solution. There is absolutely no use of harsh chemicals like lye (caustic soda) to artificially speed up the de-bittering process. The olives stay in this brine solution for ‘at least’ 12 months.
