Olive Queen Olives

Giant olives make for the ideal centerpieces on any charcuterie board, adding salty briny flavor and adding visual appeal to platters of fresh fruit, artisan cheese and smoked meats.

A classic martini olive, this plump green olive is prepared in Spanish fashion with a quick bath of caustic soda or lye for de-bittering, then rinsed and fermented in natural sea salt brine before being packaged up and fermented for serving.

Early Life and Education

Olive was raised by her parents in a rural farmhouse near Waverly, Kansas. Their family farmed hogs, chickens and cows for income by selling off the meat produced on their farms as household income.

She began by experimenting with pickling olives herself. Working from sunrise to sunset, she would collect, wash and place olives in jars filled with water for pickling – her new product became an immediate success.

Though reconstructing crushing, pressing, and separation apparatus can be complex, these meager remains provide insight into olive oil production during antiquity. Coarse ware ceramic tubs with spouts have long been recognized as olive oil separators; here are examples from Myrtos and Gournia on Crete from the Late Bronze Age; similar examples can be found at Methana and Praisos as well.
