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

[-] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Most olives in supermarkets are like that.

you think they may be wrinkly because they're cured?

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, all olives are cured in some fashion. They're very hard fresh from the tree.

Are black-treated green olives cheaper than black olives or what?

[-] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 1 month ago

i think so, actual black olives aren't very popular so they're harder to get

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

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.
