Very informative as always. I have always been curious what native olives look and taste like. What species exist over there? Are they salt free? When are they considered "ripe"? How do YOU like them? How about some information devoted to olives?
ReplyDeleteWe saw people picking olives for the first time today. All the olives in the area are green olives, and I took a picture of one and tasted it, reviewed here: http://hiitsmebridget.blogspot.com/2010/09/il-primo-giorno-di-scuola.html
ReplyDeleteThey really should not be eaten raw, they are DISGUSTING raw, so they pickle them like you would expect. A lot of people have olive trees just to have them, and there are arbors full of them too.
