About

Many homes pickle their own olives, using the harvest of their own groves or buying them from private landowners who traditionally provide them with their yearly supply. For those who are less fortunate and can only buy their olives off the supermarket shelf, a personal touch can transform such insipid commercial fare into a valuable creation that is likely to impress anyone you serve them to.
