Easy, quick, and recipe. How to make fresh olives in brine.
With simple and effective hygienic tips to prevent mold.
Every year, when autumn arrives, the new olives are harvested as my father and grandfather did before me. Almost everything that is collected is used for domestic oil. But we reserve a small part to prepare olives in brine, pickled olives, and crushed olives, which will then be enjoyed for most of the year in salads and homemade dishes.

Great video
How much olive oils and vinegar do you put in each jar.
Very nice video chef Nico One question please. Did you crack or split with the knife or you left them whole none cracked
I started curing olives yesterday using your method . I can’t wait to see the results. I like the fact that I did not have to crack the olives considering that most of the beneficial oils will be released into the water. Thanks so much for sharing such detailed informative video. Warm greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

Hi can I use this recipe for ripe black olives in the same way? Many thanks
Does the vinegar prevent natural microbes / natural fermentation or is small amount ok for natural fermentation?
Ενα λάθος που κάνατε είναι οτι δεν αναφέρετε την πικιλία της ελιάς . Σίγουρα φτιάξατε πράσινες ελιές μετά απο 3 εβδομάδες ; Αμφιβάλω
