We don´t want to divulge the secrets
of our herb and garlic
preserved olives!
The final seasoning adjustment to the flavour of our olives is entrusted
to our Greek friend who has 60 years of experience to fall back on
and
does it with love..
If the taste of garlic is not strong enough for you, just add some
more garlic cloves. On the other hand if it is too strong, divide
the olives and just add more oil. |

Good olives are like wine: the older the better!
This characteristic depends on the method of preparation and storage
conditions.
 |
Once opened, the olives in the jars and barrels
must be completely covered with olive oil. |
 |
Extract the olives using only wooden or plastic
utensils. |
 |
If the top olives become grey in colour
- top up with olive oil straight away. |
 |
Don´t worry if you see that red-grey
spots sometimes topped by a white fungus, have developed
on
|
| |
some of your olives. This is a completely natural
process. Just remove the affected olives, clean them |
| |
under water, replace them and then top up with
olive oil. |
|

 |
Put herbal olives in a bowl, remove the herb
stems.
Peel a piece of root ginger and finely grate it, mix with red
or green pepper chopped small, cumin,
lemon juice and olive oil and then stir.Cut some red
or green pepper into thin strips.
Carefully mix all the ingredients together and let them soak.

| Cut off the bottom of 2 ripe tomatoes and grate
them, finely chop some fresh basil, crush a soup spoonful of
peppercorns, put the garlic olives with a little of
their own oil, mix it all up carefully and let it marinate.

Use either herbal or garlic olives as a base. Cut one green
pepper
and two or three radishes into small strips, add
10 grams of
slithered almonds, 5 grams of pine nuts and 1
soup spoonful of
chopped parsley. Mix all together. Add the juice of 1
lemon, 5cl
of olive oil. Blend it well and mix with the olives.
Should be eaten in a few days as the fresh ingredients will
spoil.
Tip: The brine from the garlic and the herbal olives
can be used in salads, sauces and dips.
