How do you remove salt from olives?
Store in brine: Feta is traditionally sold in a brine solution (heavily salted water). It can be refrigerated, covered with the brine, for a long time. As the amount of brine decreases, add more. To make brine you mix one pound of kosher salt with 1 gallon of water. The salt may not dissolve completely; that is normal. If the feta is too salty, take the piece you want to use and soak it in a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 fresh milk for an hour. also you can alter the flavor of the feta by adding milk with the brine. I usually do this to make the feta smoother and creamier. But I worry about the milk spoiling so after about a week I change the mixture. I also replace the brine mixture every 4-6 weeks. Most Greeks don't, but I worry about contamination.

Black or green olives are usually used when making olive oil because they tend to be the most commonly grown and produce the best yield. When making olive oil, the olives should be extracted from the tree and removed of all debris including leaves, twigs, and waste that is present on the olive. Make sure that you DO NOT remove the pits of the olive when in the process of making olive oil. In fact, the pits are the part of the olive that gives the most oil. When the olives are ready to be juiced, most oil producers will use some form of a masher or mortar and pestle to grind the olives into a paste. When grinding, do not be tempted to put the olives in a blender or food processor because when ground quickly, the olive will give off a very bitter taste in its oil. When the paste is made, the oil will be visible and then can be extracted in some way, either through a filter or strainer.
