Pitted and black olives are rare. Green pitted olives are common

The fruit of the olive tree, native to the Mediterranean and synonymous with olive oil. Many varieties are now being grown commercially in Australia – for oil and as table olives. Olives are green when immature and darken to black when ripe. They can be picked and pressed at any stage of maturity and taste will vary accordingly.

This is the edible fruit of the olive tree. Found in both green(unripe) and black(ripe) forms, each must undergo a process to remove the bitterness found in them. This curing process is done with brine solutions, salt curing, and drying.
