Did you know?
Olives, which are actually berries, are one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world, dating back to 5,000 BC in the Mediterranean.
The word olive comes from the Latin word “oliva,” and it was a symbol of peace in ancient Greece.
Green olives are harvested before they fully ripen and turn black, giving them their distinct, firmer texture.
Olives are rich in oleuropein, a compound with potential anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
The process of curing olives in brine or saltwater is essential for reducing their natural bitterness.
Drawback
