Green OELdust? These are flakes of green olives. They add colour and an extra portion of flavour to your dishes.
OELdust are dehydrated and crushed, spicy olives. Green OELdust goes well with cream cheese, asparagus, spaghetti carbonara and all fish dishes.
OELdust — the olive spice from Greece.
OELdust is a rather fine powder that tastes of olives. No wonder, since it is made from olives. Green olives to sprinkle? That’s OELdust — a new kind of olive spice.
For our OELdust Green, green olives are pitted, dried with garlic, bukovo and coriander and then crushed to make a sprinkleable, very aromatic olive powder.
You can experiment with OELdust in all kinds of recipes. Let your creativity run wild! Sprinkle OELdust on your sandwich, add it to salad dressing or herb curd. Season your bread dough with it, or make a quick pesto with OELdust, capers and pine nuts. Mix OELdust with OEL and drizzle the mixture over your vegetables. Experiment!

Bukovo and our OELdust
Our green OLESTAUB is seasoned with Bukovo. This is a spicy pepper variety from Macedonia. It was almost extinct, but is now fortunately experiencing a small renaissance. The spiciness and aroma of Bukovo harmonise perfectly with garlic and the slightly bitter fleshy Chalkidiki olives. That’s why we use Bukovo in our green OELdust and in our green GRILLOELiven.
Like all OEL products, OELdust Green does not contain flavour enhancers, artificial flavourings, preservatives, colourings or sugar. At OEL you will find the pure diversity of natural taste.
Let yourself be surprised how versatile and intense such a simple product is!
Production process of our products from olives
The green olives for our olive products grow and thrive exclusively on certified organic trees in Greece. They are harvested from these very trees in gentle, but sweaty, manual labour, and then packed into boxes and taken to the processing facilities. During harvesting and processing, the protection of the fruit has top priority. This is the only way to preserve the full flavour.
In the processing plants, the olives are sorted by variety and size, transported via conveyors to be washed and then stored in large tanks with brine for debittering. Because without this process, olives are inedible. The olives ferment for about six months before they are processed further. Only at the end are the olives marinated in vinegar or with herbs.
For OELdust, two further processing steps follow: drying and crushing into granules.


From bitter fruit to tasty temptation
In contrast, the traditional processing of the olives was still done exclusively by hand. The olives, which were harvested by the thousands, had to be laboriously washed, cleaned, scarified, optionally pitted, and finally pickled. Then, as now, the process of soaking the olives in brine, wine vinegar, and/or olive oil ensured the removal of the naturally bitter substances from the olives so that the finished olive products could be enjoyed. The natural flavor of an unprocessed olive is mostly one of incomparably intensive bitterness.
Importantly: the bitterness is still a testament to the richness of the olive’s components. In particular, the phenols and polyphenols, which are beneficial for health and digestion, have a bitter taste. The goal of pickling the olives is to balance these flavor properties and so to bring out the diversity of the other natural aromas.
