Brined herring. As opposed to dry salting, fish brining or wet-salting is performed by immersion of fish into brine, or just sprinkling it with salt without draining the moisture. To ensure long-term preservation, the solution has to contain at least 20% of salt, a process called "heavy salting" in fisheries; heavy-salted fish must be desalted ...
In 1894, two years after planting his olive trees, Graber began selling vat-cured olives. [1] He married Georgia Belle Noe in 1905. She participated in the business and sold fresh olives right out of the vats used to hold the olives after they had been picked. By 1910, Graber had developed a rope-propelled apparatus for grading olives by size.
Duble – purely brine-cured olive. The traditional method of curing is to put the olives into two-metre-deep (6.6 ft) vats with weights on the top and brine circulating. The weights tenderize the olives. They are then stored in brine. The more commercial method is to use pressure vats, but this does not produce such a nice texture of olive ...
