Frequently Asked Questions:
What are black olives?
Pitted black olives, also known as ripe black olives or canned olives, are very popular olives with a mild, nutty flavor and a plump, meaty texture. The olives in these cans have been ripened from green to black, where they are harvested, pitted and then cured. THis curing process is much quicker than the curing of table olives. Table olives are slowly cured to develop an intense, tart flavor. Ripe black olives are a much milder olive: ready to eat, ready to snack and ready to use in your favorite recipes.

Add some color and flavor to pasta creamy party dips, macaroni salads and tuna or chicken salads. Try them sliced in omelets, roasted potatoes and anything else you can think of. Snack on black olives straight from the jar or can.
