How do you pit olives for stuffing?

This step-by-step guide will show you how to pit olives and then stuff them. Stuffed olives are delicious snacks that are ideal for parties or as an appetizer.

1

Prepare the olives

  • Rinse the olives thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt and excess salt.
  • Then gently pat the olives dry with a clean cloth to remove excess water. Make sure they are completely dry before processing them further.
  • After drying, check whether there are any stems or unwanted parts on the olives and remove them if necessary. Now you are ready to continue preparing the olives.
2

Cut the olives carefully

Place each olive on a cutting board. Carefully make a slit around the olive with a sharp knife, without cutting it all the way through. Use a smooth motion and make sure to hold the olive in place as you cut. Be patient and precise during the process.

Remove the pit

  • Use your fingers or a small spoon to pop the pit out of the olive.
  • Apply gentle pressure to loosen the pit without damaging the olive.
  • Make sure the olive does not tear during this process by removing the pit slowly and gradually.

Check the olives

Check each olive carefully to make sure the pit has been completely removed. Gently squeeze the olive to detect damage. Discard any olives that are damaged or whose pits have not been completely removed. Repeat this process until all olives have been checked.

Fill the pitted olives with cream cheese, garlic or anchovies. Use a small spoon to scoop the filling into the olive. Make sure the olives are well filled for a tasty bite. Present them on a platter and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
