Reference for Maasrot 4:3
הַנּוֹטֵל זֵיתִים מִן הַמַּעֲטָן, טוֹבֵל אֶחָד אֶחָד בְּמֶלַח וְאוֹכֵל. אִם מָלַח וְנָתַן לְפָנָיו, חַיָּב. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, מִן הַמַּעֲטָן הַטָּהוֹר חַיָּב, וּמִן הַטָּמֵא פָּטוּר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מַחֲזִיר אֶת הַמּוֹתָר:
One who took olives from a vat may dip them one at a time in salt and eat them, but if he salted them and put them in front of him, he is required [to tithe]. Rabbi Eliezer says: from a pure vat he is required, but from an impure he is exempt since he puts back the leftovers.
