RULES:
black olives from pizza places are usually not actually black; they're green olives that have been chemically treated to oxidise quicker.
...which is presumably why they usually taste like o-rings.
That might explain why i hate them so much even though i love all other olives
Most olives in supermarkets are like that.
Everywhere

It's the same fruit, there's no 'black' of 'green' olives. It's just picked while unripe because it's cheaper to process.
The blacks are more ripe tho. And the greens in brine, against the bitterness.
Edit: but most are colored with E579 or E585.
If it's good enough for NASA, it's good ebough for me

you think they may be wrinkly because they're cured?
Yes, all olives are cured in some fashion. They're very hard fresh from the tree.
that's fair.
Are black-treated green olives cheaper than black olives or what?
i think so, actual black olives aren't very popular so they're harder to get
I just looked, here (Switzerland), black olives from Migros are more mild and throughout black, the real deal. Probably from Tessin or Italy. That's why the coloring of green olives was news to me.
