Olives

Olives have been cultivated for more than 8,000 of years.

Select olives based on variety and preparation; options include green, black, kalamata, and stuffed.

Store unopened jars or cans of olives in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container, cover with brine, and refrigerate. Use within one to two weeks.

Always assume there might be an olive pit or bits in a pitted olive. Better safe than sorry!
