Are Kalamata olives not black? These are almost always sold in jars. I guess according to Eataly black is only the California ripe olive. I imagine the salami and olive expert who works at Eataly isn't going to comment on Greek olives. He's still wrong. The article should be about California ripes, not all black olives.

California olives start green, and the curing process turns them black. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKWBJkaoRjM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKWBJkaoRjM
