Olives straight from the tree need to be experienced once in your lifetime to show you how incredibly bitter they are! The process of curing – or pickling – olives is needed to draw the bitterness away from the olive flesh and make it edible. Spend a morning with Maria from My Green Garden learning how to cure and preserve olives in a variety of different styles while having fun! Olives will be supplied or you can bring your own olives from your garden.

Bookings essential. The cost includes includes some take home jars of olives. Byo apron, wooden or plastic chopping board, 4 empty clean jars with lids (375ml and larger) and small knife.
