140 per pound, for small olives to as few as 30 to 32 per pound for super
colossal sizes. Olives are available tree ripened, or green, ripe or
black, pitted, pitted and stuffed with onions, garlic, capers, etc., or
Spanish style,
 with
pimientos.Olives are used in cooking, in sauces, for garnishes and as snacks. Olive oil is an important oil (see Fats and Oils). The unattractive film that forms in opened bottles of olives is harmless and can be scraped off. Store opened bottles in the refrigerator. Recipes
