    Rinse them? I spear them right out of the jar. I love 'em. I’ll try rinsing one today to see what that’s like, but I suspect the oil and salt is a big part of why I like them.

      Here’s something else to try.

      1. Rinse out the olives and put them in a clean jar.

      2. Add a somewhat generous amount of olive oil. Best you can find.

      3. Add salt, dried chili flakes, and oregano.

      4. Squeeze like half a lemon in the jar. Cut a few thin slices off the other half, cut them in quarters and drop them in as well.

      5. Vigorously shake the jar so all the olives are coated nicely in the spicy lemony oil.

      I always have a jar of this in my fridge. God tier stuff, once you’ve got the mix right in steps 3 and 4.
