Description

Olives are one of those foods that can range from simple to exotic—from a basic black to a vibrant green, from very mild to super salty. They can be eaten alone out of hand or incorporated into recipes. And in many cases, you either love or hate this small-sized fruit, or you may prefer a particular variety.

It may surprise you to learn that the only difference between green olives and black olives is ripeness; unripe olives are green, whereas fully ripe olives are black. Because the raw green olives have a naturally bitter taste, they need to be cured; this can be done through various methods including oil-curing, water-curing, brining, dry-curing, or placing in a lye solution. As olives are the Mediterranean in origin, most varieties come from Spain, Italy, Greece, and France.
