<laughs> Hope it works as well for you as it works for me!

I played with green and black olives this past New Years. I did a
double soak (planned ahead about 4 or 5 days before) then after soaking
the salt out of them, I re-added a mix of olive oil and balsamic vinegar
mixed with chopped fresh herbs.

It worked very well!

The black olives only needed one soak tho'.
