Do you pit olives before curing?

To prepare olives for water curing, you must first individually cut or crack each olive so that the bitter oleuropein can more easily leach out. The prepared olives are soaked in water and the water is changed daily over a week or more, depending on the olive style and the desired level of bitterness.

How do you pit olives without smashing them?

1) Knife and 2) Meat Pounder Simply place your olives on a flat work surface and use a chef’s knife or meat pounder to gently squish (or, if you’re more confident, aggressively smash) the olive. You’ll cleave the pit from the skin so that even if it’s not immediately revealed, it will be very easy to nudge out.
