Best Answer

Provided the container stays sealed, pretty much indefinitely. Olives are usually packed in brine (very salty water). Brine prevents spoilage and preserves the food that is packed in it. So long as the container stays closed (preferably sealed), the olives inside it will remain safe to eat.

After several years, the quality of the olives (taste and texture) may degrade, but they will remain safe to eat. This of course is assuming they were prepared correctly and sealed in a sanitary manner.

Save as much of the liquid as you can from the original container, then store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. My leftover olives are usually eaten within a week, but I know for sure they'll last that long in the fridge.
