Description
Description | A new patented table olive processing method called "Olives the Australian Way" developed by Professor John Fielke at the University of South Australia. This method uses chemistry and filtration systems to debitter olives by keeping the brine clear and recirculating it from orchard to finished pack-out, reducing water usage, labour, and processing time. The project aims to increase Australia's table olive production from 3,000 to 100,000 tonnes within 10 to 15 years and requires more tree plantings and bulk processing facilities for commercialisation. |
