The obtained diastereomer salt is dissociated using an acid aqueous solution containing the optically active diacyltartaric acid, for recovering the optically active diacyltartaric acid, and the obtained optically active diacyltartaric acid is recycled into an optical resolution step as a raw material of the optical resolution step.
