Where do green olives without stones come from?

The green olives come 100% from Greece - to be more precise from Halkidiki, a Mediterranean region in northern Greece. That's why the green olives without stones are also often referred to as Chalkidiki olives . Compared to other green olives, the Greek Halkidiki olives impress with their particularly distinctive and fresh aroma.

Greece is known for its olive trees spread throughout the country. Due to regional climate differences and different soil conditions, there are now over 60 different types of olives that differ in color, size and taste. Some varieties are widespread and also known in many other countries around the world. Other olives are extremely exclusive and only grow in very specific regions.

How are the green olives made without the stone?

Olives contain many bitter substances that protect them from predators in nature. If you pick the olive directly from the tree and taste it, it is almost inedible . In order for the green olives from Greece to retain their irresistible taste , they must first be de-bittered. For this purpose, the harvested olives are treated - in the conventional process - with caustic soda and then fermented in a salt solution with added lactic acid bacteria. To ensure that the aromas and healthy ingredients are preserved, the green olives without stone that you can find on madevegan are debittered in a natural and gentler process - solely in brine. Although this method is a little more complex and takes much longer , it does not require the addition of bacterial cultures.
