Olives grow on olive trees in Spain, Italy, Greece, and the US. The black (ripe) olives have a stronger, more pungent taste than green olives. The reason that we don't taste the bitterness of the black olives (when we buy them in a can) is because most of the oil and flavor is taken out, when marinated in water with a slight bit of vinegar and just a very small amount of salt. The green olives that we buy in the jar are marinated in water with a bit of vinegar and lots of brine salt, and often stuffed with pimentos. The brine salt and vinegar kills the bitterness of the olives; this is why in the US when you taste green or black olives , you usually can't taste the original authentic flavor. Another difference is the curing. Olives are cured in brine (salt and water). A green olive is picked early so it remains green after curing. A black olive stays on the tree longer and is black. It is black when cured, too.

Green olive oil is extra virgin olive oil which means it has a stronger olive flavor and is best used in salad dressings or as a condiment where you can enjoy the olive taste. Yellow olive oil is made from second or third pressings of the olives and has a milder taste and is better suited for frying and sauteing.

The color of olive oil does not indicate quality. Color is determined by how ripe the olives are at harvestime and the amount of processing. Unripe green olives will produce a green colored oil and the ripe black olives will produce a gold colored oil. Avoid purchasing oil so light in color or has little color, this may indicate that it has been refined. Choose and enjoy from the over 680 different varieties of olive trees. olive oil is known as liquid gold in the Mediterranean. So eat some, cook with it or apply to your skin, hair, and to soften wounds and bruises since the oil contains antioxidant vitamin E and polyphenols which fight cancer.

The difference is the curing. Olives are cured in brine ( salt and water). A green olive is picked early when it is "green" so therefore it stays green after curing. A black olive stays on the tree longer and is black. It is black when cured.
