| BLACK PEARL: GOURMET GEMLIK OLIVES |
|
These are our gourmet black olives cured purely in brine. These olive are carefully hand-picked from the top branches of the trees closest to the sun and then sorted according to their size. The Black Pearl consists of only the largest and firmest olives of the harvest. Then, they are cured purely in brine using the traditional Gemlik method known for more than ten centuries. The olives are cured in two meter deep vats with weights on the top and brine circulating. The weights tenderize the olives. They are then stored in pure brine without any preservatives. This process helps remove the acidity in the olives. The sign of a traditionally cured Gemlik olive is that the flesh comes away from the pip easily. They are ideal for the table, breakfast or cooking and very tasty if used for making olive bread.
