Use a big plastic bottle with small openings at the bottom or a natural fiber bag. Tie the bag on a high branch, or nail. Put a pot below the bottle/bag. The bitterness (europein) will leak in the bottom and you shouldn’t change the salt at all. Enjoy in 20 days.
How many times did you change the salt? I have heard of a version where you don’t change the salt, but simply drain the liquid from the bottom of the jar whenever it accumulates.
I think they use muslin bags for that too, so it naturally drips down. I changed the salt 2 times, so I used 3 portions of salt, between 0,5kg to 0,8kg per use. Still less than €1 off that amount of olives.
I've done cosmetics as a hobby like when I make my soaps. I was wondering as olive leaves and oil were used for such things, can then this wet salt from the dry cure then be used to body scrub or something and not trashed. Just wondering if anyone has tried that?
They look so good!

Very good to know. I like this method.
Glad it was helpful!

I do that before. Robilem to tez is delicious 😋
So good!
What do you do with them after the curing process? They can’t stay in salt forever, right?
Looks like you used sea salt, not ordinary table salt.
yes, it needs to be “gruesa” with big pieces.

Is brine the same as salt? What do they use at the processing plants?
I would stick to using salt, I am not sure about brine
Those olives look yummy
