About Olive
The olive, a small but mighty fruit, is the cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine and culture. These oval-shaped drupes grow on olive trees, scientifically known as Olea europaea. Olives vary in color from green to black depending on their ripeness. While olives are rarely eaten raw due to their bitterness, they are commonly cured and enjoyed in various forms, including table olives, olive oil, and tapenades. The olive tree and its fruit have been revered for centuries, symbolizing peace, wisdom, and prosperity. Their unique flavor profile and nutritional value make olives a staple in many diets around the world.
