Olives

Everyday

Olives are the fruit of the olive tree, a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and known for their distinctive savory flavor. Raw olives are naturally bitter and require curing through brining, salting, or oil-curing to become palatable. They are a good source of healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, though their sodium content can be high depending on the curing method. Olive varieties differ significantly in size, color, and flavor profile, influencing their suitability for different culinary applications, from tapenades to olive oil production.
