Types of olives
Green olives
PICKED AT THE OPTIMAL RIPENING STAGE, COLOURS RANGE FROM RICH GREEN TO FAIR YELLOW.

Out of the many olive trees that can be found, the majority are used to obtain olive oil and only a few are suitable for the production of table olives. This suitability depends on a variety of characteristics including the size of olive pit compared to the outer layer, and how easy it is to detach from the flesh.
