My first thought to this answer was this. Thrown olives are mixed into or on top of food whereas placed olives are artistically place or arranged as decoration.

However, the simple answer is not always the correct one.

Placed olives are those packed in jars by hand. Usually associated with the stuffed variety, they are "placed" by non mechanical means with the pimento stuffing clearly visible from the outside of the container. For this extra labor, the consumer pays much more for the product despite the fact that it is probably the cook opening the jar to serve the olives and the person who bought them never gets to see them so artistically arranged in the container.

In contrast, thrown olives are those dropped into the jar or container by mechanical means. Most consumers care not a whit how they look on the way home, and there is no difference in taste or texture between the two.

What is Difference between black and green olives?

Olives grow on olive trees in Spain, Italy, Greece, and the US. The black (ripe) olives have a stronger, more pungent taste than green olives. The reason that we don't taste the bitterness of the black olives (when we buy them in a can) is because most of the oil and flavor is taken out, when marinated in water with a slight bit of vinegar and just a very small amount of salt. The green olives that we buy in the jar are marinated in water with a bit of vinegar and lots of brine salt, and often stuffed with pimentos. The brine salt and vinegar kills the bitterness of the olives; this is why in the US when you taste green or black olives , you usually can't taste the original authentic flavor. Another difference is the curing. Olives are cured in brine (salt and water). A green olive is picked early so it remains green after curing. A black olive stays on the tree longer and is black. It is black when cured, too.
