I personally think the best green olives to use in this recipe are Pearls® Specialties Garlic Stuffed Green Olives. It gives it an extra bite of flavor. But if you are not a huge garlic fan, you can use their Red Pepper Stuffed Green Olives. (The red color would also brighten the cheese ring.)

Surprisingly, there is no nutritional differences between green olives and black olives. They have all of the same healthy benefits of vitamin e, antioxidants, iron, and monounsaturated fats. Therefore, you can eat whichever flavor you like best… or better… both!
