I'm throwing an olive tasting event (think wine tasting but different trying olive varieties) for my friends as an olive enjoyer but not an expert.

I am trying to figure out what order to let them try the olives in. My first idea was to do it by country, but after scouting for olives yesterday and trying a black lucques I literally couldn't taste anything else for 5 minutes as it was so salty.

Should I just go from green to dark? Any advice?

(Also, please feel free to share any other olive related pieces of knowledge if you know something you think would be a shame to miss at an olive themed dinner party.)
