Black olives are one of the most popular table olive varieties. These olives are known for their purple to black hue, soft meaty texture, and tart, tangy, slightly acidic flavor reminiscent of red wine vinegar. Like other varieties of table olives, black olives must be harvested by hand in order to protect the delicate fruits from bruising or scarring. The black olives though are carefully selected also for another one use. After brined, they are pitted and crushed into simple and pure paste of all-natural fresh black olives with a rich and strong finish and a smooth well-balanced texture.

The different types
