Aceituna Aloreña de Málaga

Aceituna Aloreña de Málaga is a seasoned table olive of the Aloreña variety. The olives must be harvested at the appropriate time of ripeness and are then split, brined and fermented. These olives are traditionally seasoned with thyme, fennel, garlic, and pepper.

Due to their low content of oleuropein, these olives don't require treatment to remove bitterness and are only brined in the mixture of salt and water. These olives are light green to pale yellow in color and are firm and crisp in texture. Aceituna Aloreña de Málaga is quite bitter and very flavorful, and the flesh is easily removed from the pit.

There are three types of these olives, and they differ from one another solely in the way that they are prepared: verdes frescas (fresh green), tradicionales (traditional) and curadas (cured).
