Fresh olives taste so bitter that they\u2019re inedible. Before you can enjoy the fruits of the olive tree, they need to be soaked several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"getting-ready-pickling-olives-step-one\">Getting ready \u2013 pickling olives, step one<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spanish-oil.com\/olivenoel-ratgeber\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/oliven-ernte.png\" alt=\"Oliven Pfl\u00fccken\" class=\"wp-image-1120\" style=\"width:256px;height:128px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Before you can start pickling the olives, the fruits need to be sorted. Damaged or even slightly spoiled olives cannot be used. Only whole, intact ones are suitable for pickling and preserving. If you\u2019ve harvested olives at different stages of ripeness, you should also sort them accordingly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spanish-oil.com\/olivenoel-ratgeber\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/oliven-vom-baum-pfluecken.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spanish-oil.com\/olivenoel-ratgeber\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/oliven-vom-baum-pfluecken-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Woran erkennt man, dass Oliven erntereif sind?\" class=\"wp-image-1335\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Harvesting olives<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After washing all the olives three times in a bowl of cold water, you can begin preparing them for pickling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Using a small, sharp kitchen knife, make four lengthwise cuts all around each olive.

Place a plate on top as a lid so that even the olives floating on the surface are kept submerged. To flush out the bitter compounds from the fruit, replace the water in the jar once a day with fresh water. You should repeat this process for at least ten days, possibly longer. Whether the olives have lost enough bitterness for your taste is something you determine by trying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spanish-oil.com\/olivenoel-ratgeber\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/olivenoel-in-derr-kueche-1024x400.png\" alt=\"Oliven\u00f6l in der K\u00fcche\" class=\"wp-image-690\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Tip 1<\/strong>: Don\u2019t test an olive each time \u2014 instead, taste the olive water to determine the level of bitterness.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Tip 2<\/strong>: If you\u2019re too lazy to score the olives, simply put them straight into the jar after washing.
