What Type Of Olive Is A Green Olive?
A green olive is an unripe olive that has a firm texture and a distinct bitter, slightly tangy flavor. They are typically harvested early in the season before they turn black or purple, and are often brined or pickled to reduce their bitterness and increase their palatability. Some examples of green olives include the Spanish Manzanilla, the Greek Halkidiki, and the Italian Cerignola.
