I certainly will give them a sniff, as I will all of the food we are working with!
Why would they need refrigeration? They are packed in a vinegar brine, kinda bad for most bacteria. Maybe if they were in oil instead? It seems that people stored olives way before refrigerators. Maybe I need to go dig some holes in the backyard and put amphorae in them :)
