Greek Black Olives,Greece price supplier

        This is a typically Greek preparation using the Conservolea variety which grades at some 200 olives per kilogram. The fruit is picked when ripe but before overripening begins and before the olives shrivel from frost. They have to be transported as quickly as possible to the processing plant where they are sorted, washed and immersed in a brine solution at a concentration of 8%. Large-scale plants use big 10-20 ton vats, while small-scale processors use wooden vats.
