What are Castelvetrano Olives?

Castelvetrano Olives is a Sicilian green olive known for having a particularly mild taste compared to standard olives. Sourced from Blice Valley in Sicily, these olives pack a sweet buttery flavor, often paired with chicken, salad, bread, fish, and more.

What are brine-cured olives?

Brine-curing olives pertain to the olives undergoing the brining olives process of letting the olives soak in salt water for an extended period of time, preferably 3-6 months. The idea is to eliminate the bitterness of the fruit from the oleuropein upon harvest.  
 

Should you rinse the brine off the olives?

The whole idea of brine cured olives is to make the fruit palatable and lessen the bitterness. However, you can also eat your brine-cured olives straight out of the jar as they would be too salty. A good practice is to rinse them with water for a few rounds before serving.  
 

Do brined olives spoil?

Like any other fruit, olive brines also spoil, but they have a relatively longer shelf life than most. Considering that you've stored them properly in a cool, dark place away from sunlight, you should be able to preserve them for about a year or 2.
