In most cases, yes for black olives. However, green olives are packed in a brine that is heavy with salt, so, no for green olives.
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.

I would say it's probably more of an esthetic thing. Black olives wouldn't look appetizing in a jar with all the black liquid in it.Many green olives are either naturally fermented or acidified and do not require a metal can. Most black olives are a low-acid food and require a higher heat canning process - which is more easily accomplished in a metal can.
