I have many olive trees and every autumn we harvest it to produce our own olive oil and to preserve some to eat all year round. In my region olive trees are an important source of income for many families as they sell olives to producers of olive oil. It is very importante for our economy.
I recent discovered that olives are quite healthy appetizer with many benefits. We eat it all the year round. Besides that we all know that olive oil is also great for our health.

Olives are the best on a supreme pizza loaded with goodies.
generally don’t like olives, but had some Lebanese olives at a wedding reception once and damn those were good!
A lot of people sell olives in my village too!!!
Never heard of olive trees here, but would enjoy one!
Olives are very high in vitamin E and other powerful antioxidants. Studies show that they are good for the heart and may protect against osteoporosis and cancer. The healthy fats in olives are extracted to produce olive oil, one of the key components of the incredibly healthy Mediterranean diet.
