The olives are collected by the nuns of the Holy Convent by hand from the trees, carefully and one at a time, so as not to damage them. They are then sorted according to size and quality, washed, crushed and placed in large barrels, which are filled with brine. The olives remain in these barrels until they are debittered and all fermentations are complete. Then, a variety of herbs and aromatics are added to mix the flavours and imbue them with aromas while they are being prepared. This is how the various wonderful flavours of green olives are created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green olives of the Convent of Ormylia are a completely natural product, with no added chemical ingredients.

It is this uniqueness that imbues them with their singular flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nuns of the Holy Convent implement the ISO 9001 \u0026amp; 22000 quality assurance systems in all food production and disposal procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlives are well known as a great source of monounsaturated fatty acids.
