Uncured olives contain a bitter alkaloid called oleuropein which has antioxidant properties. Curing neutralises most of the alkaloid and reduces bitterness. There are different curing methods including brine, dry salt, lye (sodium hydroxide aka caustic soda) and water which produce different characteristic results and are differently suited to different olive varieties.
