What is the difference between green olives and black olives?
Although the two grows on olive trees in Spain , Italy , Greece and the US ; the black olives have of a strong pungent taste than green olives . The reason that we don’t taste the bitterness of the black olives when we buy them from the can , is because most of the oil and flavor is taking out when marinated in water with a slight bit of vinegar and just a very small amount of salt. The green olives that we buy in the jar are marinated in water with a bit of vinegar and lots of brine salt stuffed with pimentos. The brine salt and vinegar kills the bitterness of the olives ; this is why in the US when you taste green or black olives , you can’t taste the original authentic flavor .
