Frequently Asked Questions:

What is brine made of?
Our brine is made of: purified spring water, sea salt and citric acid.

What is that clear white film on the top of the brine?
The clear film on top of the brine is a layer of Olive Oil that has solidified due to changes in temperature. Simply remove the jar from the refrigerator for 30 minutes and the olive oil will dissolve and return to its liquid state. The white film is created from a reaction between the vinegar and the air present in the jar. If you would like, simply remove the layer of white film with a spoon. Then remove and rinse any olives that may have come in contact with the film. The olives are 100% safe for consumption and may be placed back in the brine.
