Green #olives are just unripe black olives. We start picking when the trees are covered half green olives and half black olives. The green olives add a green, cut grass character to the oil, and the black olives make the oil fuller and more fruity. ⁣#farmtotable

To make #oliveoil we use a mixture of black (ripe) & green (unripened) olives. The black olives give the oil a sweet taste, while the green olives add the peppery notes. #inseasonnow pic.twitter.com/5xbuXSWXOh
