Olives are easily bruised and must be handled gently, especially âtable olives,â meaning those intended to be eaten â as antipasti, condiments, or used in sauces â as opposed to crushed into oil. Most of the table olives we eat come from Italy, Greece, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, and California. The varieties of table olives harvested in the Mediterranean area are particularly rich â such as the Picholine and NiÃ§oise from France; the Calamata from Greece; and the Gaeta, Taggiasca and Bella di Cerignola cultivars from Italy.
Olive trees are some of the oldest trees ever harvested by humans, a practice that dates back more than 8,000 years. Today, olives are grown both for their oil (but that's another article...or a book!) and their fruit. The trees themselves thrive in warm, subtropical zones, especially in sea air and rocky soil. Native to Syria and Asia Minor, the first olives were picked from low shrubs.
