Are you sure about the colors indicating ripeness? I may be wrong - but I
could swear that I remember that 25 years ago, when we lived next door to a
huge olive grove, some of the varieties were green and stayed green even when
ripe. I could be wrong, though. I do remembering trying to pickle them the
same way I pickled cukes and other vegetables, and I couldn't seem to get them
to soften up.
