For those who wonder, sosa or Sosa cáustica is sodium hydroxide. Probably to soften the olives but that's just a guess

[@ambarishj3314]

Yes. It’s also called caustic soda

[@owades]

He doesn’t want to say they’re treating the olives with lye, but that’s what they’re doing.

[@SarraceniaDavid]

Yes it's lye but of course it's food grade and they wash the chemical by changing them to water later. It tenderizes the olive and also removes/neutralizes astringent and bitter compounds such as tannins

@@SarraceniaDavidWhy people are so squeamish about chemicals in food, food is made from chemicals.

[@TheChodax]

Spanish guy was very shifty, doesn't inspire confidence.

[@TheChodax]

[@oldsongsnew8797]

Cheap olives = chemicals , that's what I'm getting.

[@Blenduu]
