Fresh Green Olives

Green olives have a rounded, elongated shape similar to grapes. They vary in size depending on the variety but tend to be between 2 and 4 centimeters long. Green olives are picked before they begin to change color from green to yellow-green or just before the red-ripe stage. These fruits can range in color from dark to light green blushed with red, known as the veraison stage. Their flesh is firm and has a grassy, bitter flavor that can coat the tongue for hours. In the center is an oblong, light brown seed that measures up to 2 centimeters long and sticks firmly to the flesh of the olive. Green olives have a tangy and salty flavor, particularly when compared to Black olives.
