Agrinion olive

Agrinion olives are a green olive native to Asia Minor, that are popular in Greece. They are bigger than typical olives, and, when brine-cured have a sour flavor and very soft flesh that is easily torn from pit. Brine-cured Agrinion olives have a moist-looking exterior and a soft, glossy skin. 
Agrinion olives are generally used as a condiment to spice sauces, tossed in salads or grain dishes, or served with sandwiches. These olives can be consumed whole, sliced, pitted, or stuffed with vegetables like carrots. Due to the fact that they are very succulent they are frequently used in producing olive oil.
