Pointers:Wash them well
Pointers:
Wash them well before you commence.
Ensure you remove the leaves. Stalks not really a problem.
Also with this method remember to calculate the brine on 1litre per kg of olives. Also make sure its well covered (with the slightest hole to allow gas to escape.
At the brine stage I chuck in there (this is for 10kg olives) 10 bay leaves 10 cloves of garlic (just cut in halves).
Also its important you do change the water completely each day otherwise the mould will set it or the olives will go off.
If it works for you you will be one happy chappy. Good luck
