A couple of times I've been to restaurants that serve olives that taste
quite sweet, and not very salty. I suspect they might use vinegar instead of brine, which most olives seem to be soaked in. I've looked around in vain to find these olives in shops. Any idea what makes olives sweet but not salty? If so, what is the "style" called, and where might I find them to buy? |

Arbequina Olives have a lovely sweet flavor. You might try here... http://www.tienda.com/food/pop/ol-01.html -- Wayne Boatwright ożo ____________________ BIOYA |

My local market has an olive bar with at least 3 kinds like that. |
