Olives are not only rich in healthy fats but also in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, making them a powerful superfood in support of heart and metabolic health
Olives are one of the oldest cultivated trees worldwide, with the oldest known tree thought to be at least 2,000 -- and possibly more than 3,000 -- years old. The tree, known as the “olive tree of Vouves” and located on the island of Crete, still produces olives and acts as a symbol of everything olives stand for -- longevity, prosperity and peace, for starters.
