Our fermented and processed pickles are prepared with cold, salted brine for up to three months so that the bitter compound is removed, the vegetables are softened and imbued in flavor. It is then washed and sorted and packaged in containers in a brine solution for its preservation.
The harvesting process plays a key role in our pickle produce. Our farmers select the finest olives and vegetables. Each olive is selected according to ripeness before the fermentation process commences.
For the preservation process, our vegetables and olives are transferred to large tanks that are filled with a brine solution, which is made up of water and 10% salt. It takes up to three months for the fermentation process to be completed. This process is necessary to break down the sugar in the vegetables, and to produce the carbon dioxide so that the pickled vegetables can be stored for many months after packaging. Once the fermentation process is complete, the vegetables and olives are removed from the brine and
immersed in water to remove all the salt. At this stage any slicing and selecting takes place. The vegetables and olives are then packaged with a liquor consisting of brine and labelled for shipment.
