Olives
Olives—a timeless symbol of peace, resilience, and culinary richness, deeply rooted in Mediterranean heritage.
Quick fact: The ancient roots and cultural significance of olives
Olives (Olea europaea) have been cultivated for over 6,000 years, with origins tracing back to the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly the Levant region encompassing modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria. Archaeological evidence indicates that olives were first domesticated between 8,000 and 6,000 years ago, making them among the oldest known cultivated trees.
Beyond their agricultural value, olives have held profound symbolic meanings across various cultures and religions. In ancient Greece, the olive tree was sacred to Athena, symbolizing peace and prosperity. The olive branch has been a universal emblem of peace, appearing in contexts ranging from Roman rituals to the modern United Nations flag.
Culinarily, olives are a cornerstone of Mediterranean diets, enjoyed in various forms—from whole table olives to the rich, flavorful olive oil used in countless dishes. Their versatility and health benefits have cemented their status in global cuisines.
