 The Olive Press Autumn 2002: what is the oil content?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
If the moisture were removed by drying, the olives would be half their original weight (50 g), but they would still contain 20 g oil.
As moisture content changes daily in growing olives, it is critical that moisture is used in the formula to calculate oil content, otherwise the result doesn’t have any significance.
Although this is not perfectly accurate, as some olive cultivars contain more moisture than others do, this is the best way to compare oil content between cultivars to allow for variation in moisture from day to day.
