Olive Harvest and Pickling Tips
The article pertains to the season of harvesting "Ras'ei" table olives in Palestine. The harvest has already begun in the northern West Bank governorates, especially in Tulkarm and Jenin, with an official start expected in mid-September. The article explains that the change in fruit color from dark green to light green and the appearance of the "teardrop" are signs of the olive's ripeness and readiness for picking. Experts recommend delaying the harvest until mid-October to ensure the olives are fully matured and oily enough, emphasizing the importance of handpicking the olives, removing damaged fruits, and thoroughly washing them. The article also highlights traditional methods of pickling and quick fermentation techniques, stressing that jars should be well sealed and a layer of oil placed on top to preserve quality. The total olive production in Palestine amounts to around 100,000 tons annually, part of which is used for pickling, while the remainder is pressed to extract oil. Additionally, quantities ranging from 1,800 to 3,600 tons are imported from Jordan, Egypt, and Israel to meet demand.
