Cooking notes
- Choose the olives at the end of the season, when their color turns light green and they are full of oil.
- You can open the jar and eat the olives after 10 days of brining.
- The brined green olives can be stored this way for three years.
- Do not add lemon juice if you want to store the olives for a long time, because lemon juice makes them soften and spoils them quickly.
- Citric acid gives the olives a beautiful color, a pleasant taste, and helps them keep longer.
