We visit the villages in the Gemlik and Akhisar regions to select the best olives. Hand-picked in season, the olives are placed in special natural pools and covered with large granite stones. The fermentation process begins with sea salt and water in the closed, dark, cool pool environment. After approximately one year of fermentation, they are subjected to a waterless dry stone press for one week. This is the long journey of Livvy olives, which arrive at your table in their most natural state, without any additives or chemical treatments.VarietyNaturally Fermented Pickled OlivesSummarySalted, All Natural, Naturally Fermented, Additive and Preservative-Free, Alkali-Free, VeganIngredientsNatural Black Olives, Salt, Water, Corn OilNetWeight 1800 gCaliber261-290 olives (1000 g)Nutritional Values (100 g)Calories (kcal) 351Protein 1.9 g Total Fat 38 gSaturated Fat 16 gCholesterol 0 mgCarbohydrate 0.22 gVitamin E 4.8 gVitamin B1 0.018 mg Vitamin B2 0.021 mgCalcium 113 mgSodium 781 mgProduct FeaturesMatured using the highest quality olives, hand-picked seasonally from villages in the Gemlik and Akhisar regions, using natural fermentation and packaged for table use. Contains no artificial preservatives.Medium-grained, high-quality black olives are fermented with sea salt and water in a cool, dark, enclosed pool environment for approximately one year, and finally, they are finally ready to be tasted. After approximately one year of fermentation, the olives were subjected to a one-week, dry, dehydrated granite stone press, increasing the intensity of their flavor.No additives or preservatives were used during or after the production phase, and no chemical processing was performed. It is the most costly, most labor-intensive, and best-in-class production method. They are not kiln-dried for artificial sweetening or flavoring.You may experience a slight bitterness due to the beneficial natural components found in the olives. Due to the natural characteristics of our olives, the olives may appear brown when first opened. Upon contact with air, these olives will return to their natural black color.Storage ConditionsStore in a can, in a refrigerator, in a dry, cool, and dry place, away from moisture and light, at temperatures between 5 C and 15 C. Consume within 90 days after opening the can.Our Livvy olive tins are made of infinitely recyclable material without any loss of quality. Olives should not be exposed to sunlight, air, or be affected by humidity or ambient odors. For these reasons, tins are the best packaging option for storing naturally fermented olives.Product RecommendationsBlack olives are not suitable for eating when picked from the tree and have a sharp, bitter taste due to the oleuropein they contain. They are fermented in a cool, dark pool with sea salt and water for approximately one year before they are fully ripened. The salt water used in this process is called brine. Brine is not an option but a necessity for high-quality olive production.Pickled black olives are generally too salty when they come out of the tins. The salt content in our naturally fermented olives ranges between 5-8 percent.When olives are soaked in very warm water, they will be approximately 20 desalinated after 1 hour, 40 after 6 hours, and 60 after 24 hours. Adding natural vinegar to the water will shorten these times.To desalt olives:Place only the amount of olives you will consume immediately in a container.Fill the container with very warm water, just above the level of the olives. You can also add no more than two tablespoons of natural vinegar per glass of water.Soak in water for a period appropriate to the desired salt level.Tips:Make sure the water is not boiling, but warm enough not to burn a baby's skin.Desalination should only be performed on olives that will be consumed immediately.Desalinated olives should not be returned to their packaging and mixed with other olives. This will cause all olives to spoil quickly.Desalination should not be performed on all olives in the packaging, and they should not be returned to their packaging and stored. This will cause all olives to spoil quickly.NoteSince it does not contain any additives, flavor and color differences may occur depending on the season and batch.This product will be shipped by Livvy Food Technologies Limited.
