green and black olives
Green and black olives
Green and black olives are cured olive-tree fruits with contrasting ripeness-related textures, served whole or chopped in savoury cooking.
About Green and black olives
This entry refers to a combination of green and black olives, the cured fruits of the olive tree. Green olives are generally harvested less ripe and tend to be firmer and more bitter; black olives are generally riper, softer and milder, though curing also strongly affects flavour and texture.
They are eaten as table olives or used chopped, sliced or whole in savoury cooking. They may be sold with pits or pitted, and in brine, oil or other curing preparations; the two colours do not by themselves specify a single cultivar or curing method.
