Free Olive Curing Demonstration

Twain Harte Times

August 30, 2010

Olives are one of the oldest foods known to man and their one of the tastiest as well. Their rich history surrounds California's roots and goes back to biblical days. However, these delicious fruits have to be cured prior to eating.

If you have ever tasted an olive right off the tree you know the intense bitter flavors will coat your palate for hours.  For many families around the globe curing olives at home as a family is still a time honored tradition (often a multigenerational annual event), but it's not something that gets shared with mainstream America all that often. On September 18th, 2010, Chaffin Family Orchards will be hosting an Olive Curing Demonstration.
