black olive
Dark Mediterranean drupe
Black olives are ripe olives, typically cured and often sold in cans.
The term usually refers to the mild California-style olive common on pizzas and in salads, distinguished from the more intensely flavored Greek or Italian varieties.
Green olives are picked unripe; black olives are allowed to mature on the tree, though some are artificially darkened during processing.
