Why olives?
The olive is the fruit of the Olea europea olive tree. It offers unique nutritional properties. This is due to the quantity and quality of the fatty acids it has, combined with a range of nutrients that have a positive effect on the body and health.
In particular, the green olive of Chalkidiki is a variety that is grown almost exclusively on this peninsula. The special climatic conditions of the area and the characteristics of the soil give the fruit a spicy and slightly acidic taste combined with pleasant notes of fruity aromas. In addition, the Chalkidiki olive is often called the 'olive of olives' because of the large size of its fruits, which range between 4-14 grams.
The benefits of olive oil and olives have been known for centuries. This is evidenced by the Mediterranean people who often eat fruit, vegetables, limited amounts of red meat and their main source of fatty acids is olive products. These people have a longer life expectancy and a reduced incidence of chronic and degenerative diseases
