Hi there may I ask how to eat the olives after they are ready to come out of the jar please? Do I rinse the olives? Add oil or how to season it please? We've left the olives for almost 6 weeks now and some still taste slightly bitter, but some have very slight fermented taste, I wonder if we've done something wrong.. :-(

@@dhuniya108 They sound fine. Eat them straight out of the jar or rinse (your choice) To reduce the bitterness (next time) soak the cracked olives in water for 7 days, changing the water each day. This will extract /dilute the Oleuropein (bitter taste). Once washed daily for seven days then add to the brine solution and store for a minimum of 4 weeks. Taste is very much country/ region-specific. What tastes good to you may taste horrible to others. It takes a few seasons of playing with curing to find what you like.

prototype Even me I can’t find in London fresh olives I had mine as gift from Morocco btw all the best for you and good luck .

Sulagna Dasgupta you’re welcome my dear 😊

You’re welcome

Rob Moffatt I bought it from a Turkish shop as pickled jar when we finished the pickles I cleaned it and use it back for the olives 🤣

Yes otherwise the olive will get rotten on top but doesn’t make any poisons for the body take the rotten top part and throw it . Sorry for the delay I was abroad .

Hello , I got mine from Morocco as present from a friend Btw I live in London but I think you can find them in any Mediterranean grocery specialty of u live near Michigan there is lots of Lebanese groceries there .

rubglez Yes sure u can use it .

Johnny Crouch U can add lemon juice if u like ( about 1 cup )

We smash the olives and preserve it , it will take less time but there is people preserve them without smashing them it will work of course but it will take more time or more than 4or 5 months . Hope that help , you’re very welcome 🙏

@@SmileyGirl230 Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help. Can't wait to do this tomorrow XOX

@@aquahuggies You’re very welcome , all the best 🙏

The bitterbess still goes away but it takes a long time. Like 8 to 12 months. The wait is hard but it is even harder to not eat them all quickly once they are ready.

Daisy Cecilia Green or black olives, can be cured in water, which removes the bitter taste. They will have a fresh, nutty flavor and firm texture. After a week or so of water curing, they are stored in a pickling brine, which adds a salty flavor. There is no different way to preserve olives , this is the best way .

Welcome To The End Of The World up to one year .

ENGLISH FUTURE KIDS CHINA Hello , u have to wait at least 6 weeks to 2 month And when they ready to eat u can keep them for more than a year in a place away from sunlight.

​@@SmileyGirl230 Thank you very much for answering my question. I wish a spectacular week to you and family.

ENGLISH FUTURE KIDS CHINA You’re very welcome , Thank you🙏

@@SmileyGirl230 You’re welcome too.

Ikra Rahman You have to leave outside the fridge in a cupboard or cool place away from the sun .

@@SmileyGirl230 thankyou so much..😘take love from bangladesh❤❤❤

Ikra Rahman 🙏🙏🙏💖

Yes sure

you need the acid so use lemon juice or vinaigar otherwise it will be bitter

If you don't use citric acid up the lemons by at least 5 times or more. Ancients used vinegar. The acid and the salt protects against botulism. Important!

Hi , yes no need to rinse the olives after 4 weeks or 6 weeks the bitterness will disappear , the salt and citric acid will help a lot .

I've 🐝 doing olives for about 5 years now and I cute them with lye first. Takes about 12 hours. Much faster and easier for me.

Hello 🌹 yes u can do this but make sure to change the water everyday . All the best 🙏

@@SmileyGirl230 i will do this! Thank you very much! have a good day🙏♡

Thank you you have a nice evening : )

BTW its evening now in London lol

You can add lemon juice about half a cup. If no it’s okay just add water and rock salt .

I had prepared an other jar as well that one tasted really good but I gave them away to a friend and now the ones left with me ,,, I can't understand what to do

Plz do reply

Consider the appearance. If the olives are in brine and there’s a layer of white mold at the top, Mezzetta says it’s fine to remove it and continue eating. But if they smell and taste bad that means the olives not safe to be eating . But after you washed them if the smell goes away it’s okay just add on them salt , bit of lemon juice and oil do not add any water make sure all the olive on top are covered to avoid any rotten I hope that help all the best .

Jazak Allah

Oh it’s citric acid .

@@SmileyGirl230 ooo, thank you!!!

@@smiljanaradusinovicpebblea4528 You’re very welcome .

Next time put more salt, a teaspoon of salt for every glass of water. Also add oregano leaves and garlic, and more olive oil on top. O and make sure that the jar is very clean, clean it with hot water. All of these should help prevent mold.

Donna Pereira yes it’s safe to eat don’t worry just take of the top and make sure all of the olives are covered with water .

depalmafarms.com/olives.html I get mine from this place in Ripon/Manteca area. Might be too late in the season. But I would definitely call them and see if they have any left.

After you make this method as showed in video you have to keep them between 1 to 2 month after this the bitterness will go .

@@SmileyGirl230 thanks dear. If I don't have citric acid or I want to avoid lemon etc as my mom has asthama she can't eat lemon etc. Is there another way. Salt water ...I will appreciate. Thanks smiling

@@FazeedTv Yes sure u can do them without lemon or citric , my mom also she do green olives with rock salt only without lemon taste delicious . Also You can keep them for more than a year in a place away from sunlight. They don’t go bad in a short time.

@@FazeedTv Bless your mom 🙏

@@SmileyGirl230 thanks ...u are so good. I will subscribe ur channel. My name is adnan. From Pakistan. Next . Plz make more videos on curing olive bitterness.
