Date: May 01, 2008 11:54PM I pulled one off a fallen branch. The olive was black (ripe), it tasted better than the really expensive sun-dried raw olives. It was a rich, yet mild flavor. Unfortunately, I moved out of state for the next growing season. Re: olives

Date: May 02, 2008 12:57AM I'm still praying to the forces of Chaos to sprout an olive tree in the middle of my bedroom~~~
Edit: Anything jarred is probably pasteurized. You can tell by gradient of flavor from sun-dried raw => organic jarred => and the worse canned/olive bar/cheapie olives. I feel totally satisfied with just a few raw olives, but I can keep eating them and feel sick without getting the good feeling if I eat regular ones (something I've stopped doing out of desperation when I made this connection :O ). There are some really good olive threads floating around the board, I started them in a violent olive mania myself! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/02/2008 12:59AM by phantom. Re: olives

Date: May 02, 2008 01:58AM I have never had a raw olive but it strikes me as very odd that the raw olive would taste so bad while the "extra extra virgin" olive oils taste so good. Re: olives

Date: May 02, 2008 03:43AM I get raw olives from sunfoodnutrition.com
They are delicious! I especially like the morrocan olives. They are not at all bitter. Re: olives

Date: May 02, 2008 08:41PM I have had raw olives from raw companies and thought they were really great--both salted and unsalted. They do taste--raw, uncooked. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
