Nutritional value of Olives
Calories per olive: It depends on how big the olives are and what their oil content is. The large black canned olives are actually quite low in oil - sometimes only 7%, which is why they are table olives and are generally not used to make oil. Some smaller olives used primarily for oil making can have more than 20 to 25% in oil content. Olives can range from 1 to 14 grams in weight. There is about 1 tablespoon of olive oil (and about 120 calories) in: 20 medium Mission olives that have an oil content of 20%, or 40 small ripe black olives, or 20 jumbo ripe black olives, or 7 super colossal ripe black olives.
