Olives, preparing for eating.

[dessiato]

Has anyone tried this with British olives? My tree has been fruiting for a few years now and the olives on it look pretty tempting. They're dropping black at the moment. Any idea when you should harvest for green and black?

Green ones are OK to harvest. That's when they do it here. Green ones will go black, sometimes, when cured. Black ones have more oil in my experience and have a fuller flavour.
