It is, in fact, possible for Kalamata olives to go moldy in the refrigerator. They grow a fine layer of smooth green fuzz where the pits used to be. It is a good thing that Pretty Lady chops her olives before adding them to the pesto, and that her vision has not yet failed completely.

Hoo whee, how old were those olives?
I've found if you keep um submerged in their brine, they just get salt-crusty, but not moldy, so I try to dip out extra brine from the bin. Which makes me ever so populaire.
That's the thing--when I'm almost out of olives, I buy another bag, so these could have been sitting there unnoticed for months. And they come pre-bagged at the co-op, so brine is not an option.
Pretty Lady had a new PET!
Try storing them in olive oil in the refrigerator.
