Mediterranean Context
In Mediterranean culture, olives are not appetizers.They are always on the table.
Green olives are served with bread, olive oil, cheese, and simple dishes, forming the backbone of daily meals. Natural fermentation allows bitterness to soften over time, creating depth without additives or shortcuts.
This process is not rushed. It relies on time, salt, and patience.
The Nature of Natural Fermentation
No Chemical Debittering
Unlike industrial olives, naturally fermented green olives are not treated with chemical solutions to remove bitterness quickly.
Time as an Ingredient
Bitterness fades gradually, replaced by complexity and balance, resulting in an olive that tastes alive rather than processed.
Traditional Fermentation Approach
Salt, Water, and Time
Mare Nostrum olives are fermented in simple brine, allowing natural processes to define flavor.
Pasteurized for Stability
Pasteurization ensures safety while preserving the fermented character.
