Before starting the process, it is important to select good quality olives that are fresh and firm. Once selected, place them in cold water for 20 days.

At the same time, rinse the olives and place them in pre-sterilized jars.
Once the brine has cooled, carefully pour it over the olives in the jars, making sure they are completely covered.
Add bay leaves to each jar to taste. This will give the preparation a distinctive smell and flavor.
