      My husband is Greek on his mom’s side and Italian on his dad’s. He can’t stand olives. Don’t worry- you’re not alone.

        But I want to like them. I try one every few years to see if they’re still yucky.

          You may be a supertaster, there are cheap test strips you can buy online to see.

          If you are that makes sense as bitter tastes are much stronger.

          do you get the same reaction from both green and black olives?
