Olives straight from a tree are inedibly bitter and must be cured and then pickled somehow to make them edible. In this workshop, you will cover several different techniques to cure olives, each with a different waiting – or curing – period. In order to fully experience the stages of the processes, some olives will have been partially cured before the class for you to continue the process; as well as taking home fresh olives for you to start from scratch. Tastings will be available so you can decide which style is your preferred.
