Start by selecting three types of olives: Cerignola, Castelvetrano, and pitted black olives.

Add 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme to the olives.

Incorporate 3 minced garlic cloves into the mixture.

Zest one whole orange and one whole lemon, adding the zest to the bowl.

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for heat.

Add coarse sea salt to taste, mixing well to combine.

Pour in extra-virgin olive oil, enough to coat the olives, and mix until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into jars or a cylindrical container, ensuring the olives are submerged in olive oil.

Let the olives marinate for at least 24 hours for the best flavor, but they can be made up to a month in advance.
