Everyone is familiar with what olives are. We see them regularly in the markets and shops in different shapes and colors. Olives are delicious and very, very healthy. The precious olive oil is made from them, about which we have written to you more than once or twice.

The actual origin of the olive is not very clear, nor is its wild ancestor known. It is among the oldest cultivated trees in the world - cultivated even before the invention of the first writing.

Around 3000 BC was the main culture of the island of Crete, and it is assumed, not without reason, that it had a major contribution to the prosperity of the Minoan kingdom. The Phoenicians, for their part, brought the olive along the Mediterranean coast of Africa and southern Europe.

Olives were also found in Egyptian tombs from about 2000 BC, and their culture quickly spread among the earliest Greeks. Later, the Romans adopted it and carried it wherever the legionnaire's boot stepped.

The most famous species is the European olive (Olea europaea), which has been used since ancient times to produce olive oil or to eat the fruit itself.
