Spanish-style Green Olives<\/h4>\n

Spanish-style green olives are vibrant and naturally green in colour, but can sometimes have a slightly brownish hue. These type of olives are firm in texture, but not hard and have a pleasant salty taste, while retaining the flavour of the fruit. The most popular cultivars used to make Spanish-style green olives in South Africa are Mission, Manzanilla and Nocellara.<\/p>\n

Following harvesting, these green olives undergo two basic processes before they can be consumed. First, they undergo a lye treatment to break down oleuropein \u2014 the bitter compound in olives. This treatment also makes the outer layer of the fruit more permeable to allow for the diffusion of sugars.The lye treatment lasts up to 24 hours and includes several rinsing steps to remove the lye, before the olives undergo the final processing phase of natural fermentation.<\/p>\n

What are Calamata-style Olives?<\/h4>\n

Calamata-style often confuses consumers. You might wonder \u2014 what’s the difference between Kalamata, Calamata-style and Greek-style table olives? When olives first became popular in South Africa, the market\u2019s only knowledge of olives was of the Kalamata cultivar, originating from Greece. The local producers had a huge shortage of Kalamatas, which are fermented in the Greek style, and thus named the naturally fermented black olives, of any cultivar, ‘Calamata-style olives’, because the fermentation process is the same.<\/p>\n
