    Not all olives are making bright green oil though? Not all olives are green. Unripe olives are green and the go purple to black as they ripen. Black olives are fully ripe and d not press bright green.

      The olives you press for oil are green though. They have a higher fat content.

      And no, they are not all as green as the photo. Even without filtration, just allowing settling , the oil is much more clear. It’s still green though with the taste of olive oil, and a lot of grassy flavors.
