Growing up, my grandparents cured their own olives. I happend to come across an old crock made by the Western Pottery Co. in Denver a 6 gallon one. Fortunately, my aunt and father are still alive and know the old recipe my grandparents brought with them from Italy. My question is, how do I go about getting some raw green olives, and will a olive tree grow in Utah? I would really like to purchase some olives so I can cure them like my grandparents used to. It would be greatly appreciated if you could pass on some information on how to obtain them. Thank you, Joseph I live in utah. Growing up, my grandparents cured their own olives.

I am quite pleased with mine and they passed the BIG test when Aref said he really liked them. I finally bought some pre-skinned garlic cloves; brined them for a few weeks and have been adding them to the olives as space permits...we gotta get serious about all this next year. Aref's Brother and Sister were here from Lebanon and they were chased several times because they would harvest any olives they saw growing on the streets. The concept of leaving them to rot on the tree just isn't an option in their home-town of Soufar. Sooooo,,,,how did your olives turn out.

I can only imagine the intensity, and freshness, of flavor. Not to mention the personal satisfaction of concocting your own seasoned brine, based on imagination/creativity and ancient, thousand-year-old recipes/traditions. To think: your standards are higher than those of a professional chef! If and when I'm in San Francisco, I hope you'll invite me over for a taste. It all reminds me of my childhood in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, where every fall our parents took us to pick Kalmatas and Cerignolas from a nearby grove (old Gus' out west of Davie). At home, together in the kitchen, we packed them in brine jars, our fingers smelling or seawater, garlic, and lemon, always anxious, already, for the six months of curing to be done. Authenticity. cheffOnade, if you're looking to pick up a new skill, or just biding your time in Clearwater (a great growing region for olive trees, by the way) while the Brooklyn courts decide your fate, I suggest trying your hand at home olive-curing.
