<pre>Hi Margaret,



I have seen olives that I was told were Chinese but do not know the source.

As I recall they probably originated as green olives (whole) but were a
green-brown colour and were impregnated with sugar.

The texture of the flesh was quite tough.

I found the olive flavour with sugar plus some salt unattractive.

At the time I was asked if I could produce the equivalent product but I did
not follow it up.



Regards

Subject: [OliveOil] Chinese preserved olives



Hello everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with information about the various types
of Chinese pickled/preserved/sugar coated olives? I am writing an article
for the next issue of 'The Olive Press', and am finding it difficult to get
any information (I suspect most of it is probably in Chinese).
Any information would be most welcome.
Thanks and best wishes,
