How to Make Olive Juice
Olives offer a range of health benefits. They contain healthy fatty acids, like oleic acid, and provide worthwhile levels of zinc, vitamin e, and antioxidant phytonutrients. Olive juice provides you with the same health benefits, but it does contain a high level of sodium, as well. Steps 1 Select a jar of brine-cured or lye-cured olives. Cured olives work best because they are relatively easy to come by and can be preserved longer than fresh olives . Water-cured olives can be used if you want a fresher flavor, but these olives tend to be considerably bitterer and do not last quite as long as brine-cured olives. You could use fresh olives during harvest season, which falls out around late September through mid November, but fresh olives have a very bitter taste that may make the juice less palatable. Dried olives should be avoided, since they do not contain enough juice to extract. Use whole or pitted olives. Avoid olives that are stuffed with other ingredients. 2 Wa
