Mediterranean Olives 500 (gm)

There are many varieties of Mediterranean olives, including black, green, purple, and Kalamata. Some sought-after varieties include Ligurian, Koreneki, Manzanillo, Kalamon, Frantoio, Leccino, and Verdale. 

Olives have a unique taste and texture, and should be firm, not mushy or pulpy. 

Olives are high in healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They are a good source of oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, oleanolic acid, and quercetin. 

Olives are cured using a variety of methods, including brine-curing, salt-curing, sun and air-curing, and lye-curing. Cured olives can be salty, so you can rinse them in cold water and soak them overnight to remove excess salt.
