Olives… The Fruit of the Blessed Land

Since the dawn of civilization, the olive tree has symbolized peace, roots, and connection to the land. Even today, olives hold a special place—they are not just an agricultural product, but part of the collective memory, present in every home and on every table at every meal, in both rural and urban settings, in family rituals as well as everyday life. Stories are told of ancestors harvesting olives, and recipes for pickling are passed down as precious secrets, making this small fruit a mirror of a long heritage of patience, craftsmanship, and connection to the earth.
