Olives in brine
The traditional processing of edible olives consisted of hanging the olives in the sea after harvesting. Soaking in salt water served then, as it does today, to defuse the olives' natural bitterness. Fresh, untreated olives are almost inedible. Olive products can only be enjoyed at all after extensive storage in brine.
Important: The bitterness is nevertheless an important proof of the richness of the olive in terms of ingredients. It is precisely the phenols and polyphenols that promote health and digestion that taste bitter. When pickling olives, it is important to balance their flavor characteristics and thus bring out the variety of other natural flavors.
In addition, brine is a proven and widely used means of food preservation throughout the world. Since olives are harvested only once a year, but in large quantities, it was important to preserve this basic product of the Mediterranean diet for a long time.
