Help! Are my olives okay?

Hi there, not sure if anyone knows what this is on the top of my olive brine jar. I’m trying to cure my own olives and it’s my first time. Not sure if this is safe or not. Really hoping I don’t have to trash all my olives and I can save this! Any advice, suggestions, thoughts? Maybe you can’t tell from the picture but it looks like black soot on top of gelatinous gel at the top of my olive brine. The white ring you see is just a little sauce dish I used to weigh down the olives in the brine.
