This Week’s Free Handout: Microbiome Food Spotlight #9 — Fermented Olives

A traditional preserved and fermented fruit enjoyed throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East for thousands of years.

Each week, I share a new handout on something I’m thinking about or working on with clients. This week, it’s all about Fermented Olives.

What’s inside:

• Discover why fresh olives are bitter and how traditional cultures made them edible
• Learn how olives are harvested, cured and naturally fermented
• Explore their nutritional value, serving ideas and traditional food wisdom

The Fine Print:

This digital download is free until Monday, 17 August 2026. After that, it’ll join my library of handouts, most of which are available for just £1, with some kept free forever.
