Grossane - Processing

Processing

Though a dual use cultivar, the Grossane is primarily used as a table olive. The black olives are have a sweet taste, and the fruit is freestone—the stone does not cling to the flesh. It can also be used for the extraction of oil, but it gives a poor yield, and the oil has a short shelf-life. The oil is said to have a "delicate flavor with a citrus aroma and slight fruitiness", while others compare it to tomatoes.
