Best Answer

Yes, if they are not kept sufficiently drowned in the oil or brine.
If you buy them "dry" in bulk at the market, in a simple plastic bag, there's definitely a risk. You'll be able to keep them for a relatively long time if you keep the bag perfectly closed with a minimum amount of air, but still not as much as if they were in a jar.
Also, if they are not packaged in the traditional way but in an industrial tin can that you can not close, they will only survive for a short time.

If kept in a jar, you can easily keep them in perfect condition for a full year. You could have some mould developing on the surface but it has no consequence on the olives below this surface.
