The green olives are processed following a process known as “Alla Sivigliana”. Its name
is due to the likely origins of this procedure, where a sodium solution is used to enable
the raw olives to lose their bitterness.

olives lose their bitterness and get the conventional color which varies from brown to
mustard.
