Our products from Greek olives

In the past, olives were processed by hand in Greece. The olives, sometimes harvested by the thousands, had to be laboriously washed, cleaned, scored, optionally pitted and finally pickled.

Today's processing plants automatically sort the olives according to variety and size. Conveyors take them to the wash. They are then put in large tanks and filled up with brine. The olives ferment in this brine for about six months.
Then the olives are selected and checked again.
Finally, we refine the olives with spices and fill them into jars without brine.

The process of pickling in brine, wine vinegar and/or olive oils served, then as now, to soften the natural bitterness of the olives. Only in this way are the olives edible at all. This is because the natural taste of an unprocessed olive is way to bitter to eat.

Good to know für alle Olivenfans

The bitterness of the olive, however, is an important indication of its richness in content.
This is because it is the phenols and polyphenols that are helpful for health and digestion that we perceive as bitter. The goal of pickling the olives is to balance these flavor properties and so to bring out the diversity of the other natural aromas.
