Black olives with pits "Coopoliva" 2.5 kg Spanish

Olives have been cultivated as a crop since ancient times. Thus, their images are found on ancient Egyptian vases and amphoras, and information about them is found in texts of the same time. The Greeks believed that the olive was given to them by the goddess of wisdom Athena, the patroness of peaceful labor. Olives are picked green. During the cooking process, olives acquire a black color. This happens due to the fact that at a certain stage of production, the brine where the fruits are located is saturated with oxygen.
