How do you preserve olives at home?
When they're no longer bitter I drain the olives and place them in washed and sterilised 2-litre glass jars and cover with brine made with 100g salt to every litre of water. I pour the brine over the olives, covering them completely, seal them with a lid and leave them for six months to ferment.
What kind of salt do you use to cure olives?
You'll need. Salt: All recipes we've ever seen specify using non-iodized salt, we use coarse rock salt – but I don't think it actually matters. Olives: Only use black, fully ripe olives for this method. For 10kg of olives, you'll need approximately 5kg of salt.
What is olive brine made of?
Olive brine — or olive juice — is simply a mixture of salt, vinegar and water but as olives marinate, the liquid takes on a fantastically rich and delicious olive flavor. That salty goodness is a pungent boost that will deepen the flavor profile in your cooking.
