Pickled pitted green olives are a savory and briny snack, made from green olives that have had their pits removed and are preserved in a flavorful brine. These olives are known for their firm texture and slightly tangy, salty taste, which is enhanced through the pickling process. The brine often contains ingredients like vinegar, salt, and various herbs or spices, such as garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns, which infuse the olives with additional layers of flavor. Pitted green olives are convenient to eat or use in recipes since they don't have the hard pit in the center, making them a versatile ingredient.
