Best Answer

A couple of items work in a pinch, although there is no true substitute,

1. Try Capers
2. Pickled Peppers make a good alternative

Both of these impart their flavor when cooking - so add them at the same time they specify the olives

What taste does olive have?

YES!!! The Kalamata olive has a MUCH stronger, saltier taste than your typical Spanish black olive. If you want something a little bit weaker in taste than the Kalamata go with a green olive, or stick with the black olives you find at the grocery store (they have the weakest taste). If you do want the best Kalamata or Greek Green Olives, I found that Martinis brand has the best taste, at the lowest price. And their olives are straight from Greece, and Kosher certified (incase that matters). You can find them on amazon.com or shop.martinisinc.com.
