These extraordinary Organic olives come from the edge of the Atacama Desert on Peru's Pacific coast, where a pristine oasis has been created without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Tree-ripened in the desert sun, these olives were cured in nothing but sea salt & Andean spring water, then hand-pitted, and dehydrated at RAW temperatures. Amazing!
