Oil cured olives
I really need to keep my strong reading glasses handy. I bought some
olives today, and turns out they were "oil cured," but not with olive oil, with sunflower oil. Grrrrr. At least they do taste good. --Bryan |

If they had used olive oil, it probably would have been a lower quality oil, so it's not like you missed a lot. This seems like complaining your dark chocolate bar is 72% when you wanted 77%. |

My complaint is that for some unknown reason oil cured olives seem to be really difficult to find around here which sucks since they are what I prefer for many dishes. Even the high end market seems to have them only 10% of the time. |

Conventional sunflower oil isn't good, healthwise. > If they had used olive oil, it probably would > have been a lower quality oil, so it's not > like you missed a lot. You can bet that they used to low quality sunflower oil: http://www.sunflowernsa.com/health/s...acid-profiles/ The high oleic sunflower--which is what I use at home--is very similar to olive, but the high linoleic is very different. Right now, the only oil other than high oleic sunflower that I have in the house is EVOO, and I use that in small amounts as a flavorant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-6_fatty_acid http://211.76.170.15/server/APJCN/Vo...31-134S6-6.pdf --Bryan |

If John spent as much time reading research on nutrition as he does masturbating with his college degrees, he'd understand why I was displeased. > > > John Kuthe... > > someting? He also misspelled picayunish. But John doesn't need to spell like an educated person. He *is* an educated person. Why he's got him some o' them there college degrees. --Bryan |

Grrrrr. > > At least they do taste good. > > > > --Bryan I thought your post was about how to cure olives, when I just read the thread header. I bought raw olives from the market last year, and checked the internet for curing/pickling, and it seemed very complicated, putting them in water, then changing the water, then adding vinegar, etc. and I did it for ten days, and then threw them away, because they still tasted bitter and...just horrible. I took a few and boiled them, then laid them in vinegar, but they too tasted bitter, like unripe nuts. Some things just don't work out. (Yes, I checked on this group's archives for info on how to cure olives, and it's just too much bother when there are people around who can do it better and who then sell me the jars of olives.)
