FACT or FICTION? The colour of the olive

FACT or FICTION? The colour of the olive depends on the variety (Kalamata, Verdale, etc)? 🫒
If you answered FICTION…………………you were correct! 👏

ALL olives start green (non ripened fruit), then turn into a beautiful purple and then eventually turn black (ripened fruit). Picking fruit at the various colour stages, of the same variety, will give you different flavours for both extra virgin olive oil and table olives.
