Green Olives Pitted In Brine

All olives have stones (also known as pits). During the processing of olives, sometimes the pits can be removed, thus creating pitted olives.It is not a good idea to eat them straight from the jar after the brining process, either. You will probably find them too salty. The best solution to remove the excessive salt is to soak the olives in water before eating. So take as many olives as you need from the jar using a slotted spoon.
