Spanish-style (Sevillian) green olivesaceitunas estilo sevillano
Green olives are soaked in lye until it reaches two-thirds of the way into the flesh, washed, and put into salt brine. Lactic bacteria, mainly Lactiplantibacillus pentosus, then sour them over two to three months. Made in 7 steps over 2.4 months – 3.8 months. The longest step, finish and hold in brine, takes 2–3 months (Battcock M. and Azam-Ali S. 1998). Salt is 10–12 % → 5.88 % (Lucena-Padrós H 2014). Lactiplantibacillus pentosus and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, the name used in older reports for the same group do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceAn industrial process with no fixed batch size; the sources give concentrations, not amounts. The factories in the Seville study ferment about 10 tonnes of olives in 5,500–6,000 litres of brine per fermenter.

What makes this one different
Spanish style is the main table-olive method that uses lye first. The lye removes the bitterness in hours, so a fast lactic fermentation follows and is done in two to three months. Greek natural olives skip the lye and lose their bitterness slowly in brine over many months.
Picholine (American) styleLye of 3–3.5 °Bé for 8–72 h until it reaches three-quarters of the flesh, then 5–6 % and 7 % brines acidified with citric acid to pH 4.5; ready in 8–10 days with no fermentation.
Stuffed olivesPitted after fermenting and filled with pimiento, anchovy or other stuffings.
Safety
Under the International Olive Council trade standard, treated olives that are kept by their own salt and acid (not pasteurised or chilled) need a brine of at least 5 % salt, pH 4.0 or lower and at least 0.5 % lactic acid. A pH below 4.6 holds back Clostridium botulinum in fermented vegetables (Snyder et al.). Lye is caustic, so the olives are washed before they go into brine.
Hazards the sources name: Clostridium botulinum, held back once the pH is below 4.6.
