Here in Greece I always put the olives in water and change it 2 or 3 times until the salt is reduced. They become extremely salty from the brine they are preserved in so it's impossible to consume them that way. My mother prepares olives the exact same way you did 😀 Edit: "Όπου Γιώργος και μάλαμα" meaning Wherever you find a George there's gold ☺️

George, first on the Olives , this is an at home "Game Changer!!" . Olives at restaurants or even at the market olive bar always taste better than those out of the jar at home. I just thought it was a quality thing. As it turns out it's the BRINE...that nasty gas/burp causing brine that is never pleasant. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Mostly, thanks for what you do and provide to we youtuber's. All of your segments are great and very informative.

Yia sas o Yiorgos! What a simple tutorial and presented with such enthusiasm! Thank you. I recently had to purchase black olives from a nearby farm as my own tree did not deliver a crop this past year; sadly they were already pitted and in brine. Most of them I will convert into tapenade or use on pizza. The good looking ones (about half, so 5 lbs (2.5 kg) I rinsed well then placed them on a baking sheet in a convection oven @ 40C for almost an hour, then put them into jars with combinations of varying additives like crushed garlic, mint, rosemary and bay, all out of my home garden - pity I had not seen your program and considered lemon as well as I also have those growing here but it is not too late to slip some into the remaining jars that I still have to fill. These make very acceptable gifts for hosts at lunch or dinner parties as the Festive Season approaches, too.

I agree with this, however, certain brands have far less salt. Honestly though, all salt really is, is an enhancer. It basically overpowers what the olives taste like already. I am gonna try this though, it's unique and different. I love green olives from the jar, if I can make them better I'm all for it.

Most canned or jarred olives are cured with an initial lye bath for debittering of phenols. This however leaches out alot of the flavor but greatly speeds up production. Canned black olives are treated with ferrous glucanate to color them dark black.

Awesome video-appreciated all the information. What I would like to know is why did you put garlic in with the green olives, but not with the kalamata? I have a jar of pretty tasteless kalamatas and I want to bring back their flavor, so why no garlic?

@AwareHouseChef Год назад

Thank you! It was just through experimentation that I felt the garlic tasted best with the green olives than with the Kalamata. The green olives make a really nice dressing (flavored oil) with the coriander garlic and lemon where as the garlic in my personal opinion doesn’t do much for the Kalamata olives. Cheers!

@rebeccar4312 Год назад

Ok, thank you for the feedback! I love garlic, so I will do some experimenting. But first I will try using oregano, which was suggested to me by an Italian olive grower...

Great advice. Will be trying someday. Unfortunately, I married into a big German Irish family that doesn't even think olives are for eating! Too much flavor! 😆

:Gasp: I vouch for dressing spaezle with a blend of avocado and olive oils and a tasty change up. Good avocado oil tastes so much like clarified sweet butter that it's a fine substitute. So the choice to be made is what olive flavors you would like, perhaps a Spanish olive oil for a little black pepper spiciness, or simply a second-press italian for their fragile taste buds. ;-)

hi, i havent had the chance to carefully watch the video when i was trying to prepare my olives and missed the part where you said it green olives treated with garlic shouldn’t be left outside on the counter for extended periods of time. mine had been staying out for the past three days and started to smell bad. now i’ve put them in the refrigerator but do you think that i can still eat them

@AwareHouseChef 4 месяца назад

Definetly not!

@grmi98 Год назад

Thanks for recommendations. I did like you say and the olives are delicious. One thing- after i keep the jar in fridge, oil turns to a thick paste. It turns back to liquid after sitting half an hour out of fridge. Do you experience the same?

@AwareHouseChef Год назад

Yes. That is normal especially ( for some reason) with the Kalamata olives. Thank you for reaching out! Glad you enjoyed them!

@ShakespeareCafe 4 месяца назад

Modern olive harvesting includes hand picking, tree shaking with tarps on the ground or machines with a catch basin under it. I don't think the standard practice involves any of the olives falling on bare ground. Even a basic tarp would be used. I will definitely try this recipe.

How about the olives my grandparents send me from Greece in those big tin containers. Should I leave them in the brine as is or do your method? I enjoyed your video great tip!

@AwareHouseChef 2 года назад

I would leave what you do not plan on eating in the brine until you are ready to treat them, but definitely treat them . Thank you for your kindness! All the best!

@@AwareHouseChef Should I remove them from the tin container follow your instructions in the video for the black olives and place them in a glass jar? My parents always left them in the container and were eating them that way.

Thanks for the practical tips! Of course never waste olive oil and I also re-use it like you do! ... but I didn't understand why the (ripe) kalamata make the oil become thicker? Isn't it just the temperature? Thanks!

@AwareHouseChef Год назад

Thank you for the kindness! I don’t understand it either. I think it might have to do with the brine or the ripeness. But, that’s what happens. All the best!

I agree that green and mature olives are fantastic when allowed to extract flavor from oils and vinegars/sugers. But I would not want my Kalamata marinaded in any sort of way. I think that's just preference. I like them salty and briny and dependent on the variety with differing chewiness and most straight from the glass. I am not sure if the US product is the same as we have here in Europe. The brine is only as salty as salt water and unless they are dry-salted, they are not too salty to eat.

@AwareHouseChef 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for reaching out. Here, Kalimantan olives are way to brined. Masks all the flavor

@davidvermeer560 2 года назад

Just found you! Love your channel! I have always eaten my olives straight from the jar. I tried your recipe for the cracked green olives and the olive oil turned into a brick. Is that what you mean by thickens up. It does liquify but it takes about 10 minutes to become oil completely. Thanks in advance!!

@AwareHouseChef 2 года назад

Thank you David! I appreciate your kindness. Yes the olive oil will thicken and that is perfect fine, usually happens more with the black olives . No big deal as you noticed about ten minutes and it liquifies. How did you like them?

Just make sure that the olives that you cure again have been stored in some kind of vinegar solution. Some of my viewers try to do this with olives that were just stored in saltwater. It will not work. All the best!
