I don't know the recipe, but brining does preserve food items. . .
If it is the sort of brining that encourages lactic acid producing bactieria to grow.
Liken it to kim chee: That stuff bubbles in the jar and when I purchase it in the store, often the lid if bulging as it is a fresh product that is "constructively fermenting", like bread dough or sauerkraut. Kim chee is even fresher that sauerkraut because it is actively fermenting.
Sounds like this is the process that is happening on those brined olives. Just be careful opening the jars. My kim chee jars always say to open over a sink as it does "boil" up, rather like shaken soda pop upon opening.
Man, the last time I bought kim chee at the chinese market, it sat wrapped in a blanket in the WARM car (windows all open) for a couple of hours. As soon as I got home I put it in the fridge and when I opened it the next day, it spurted big time. Luckily I started to open in over the sink, else I would have had red smelly (so my kids think) stull all over.
Live and learn!
