Olive curing classes


  • DOS AGUILAS OLIVE ORCHARDS 1855 Pleasant Valley Road Aptos, CA 95003 USA (map)

On Saturdays, November 5, 12, 19 and 26 we welcome the public to come out to the olive grove to learn how to cure olives for the table.. We will start with a U-pick beginning at 9 am. A pound of olives for curing are included in the class fee along with a quart jar to cure them in. You are welcome to pick more olives for $4 per pound. At 10 am the curing class will begin. Classes will be held rain or shine in our tractor barn and last 45 minutes to an hour. Over the years Roger has taught hundreds of people the many methods for curing table olives. Samples will be available for tasting so you can decide which method appeals to you.

Reserve your spot early as these classes do sell out. There is no need to sign up for the U-picks if you are in the class. Reserve your spot at our online store.

Please arrive by 9:30 am at the latest to pick your pound of olives or earlier if you want to take more olives home. In the event of rain we will meet for class in the barn classroom at 10 am and your olives will have been picked for you.
