As you probably
know the humble olive, which has been enjoyed for thousands of years,
has never been more popular. It is natural, healthy and extremely
tasty.
Indeed olives are the ideal kitchen ingredient being delicious in
all types of cooking and as a simple snack on their own, or with a
glass of wine.
Spain is the world’s leading producer of olives and grows the
widest variety, which are considered by many to be the best. The country’s
surprising variety of climates and micro-climates means that it produces
olives with a huge diversity of flavours and aromas. |
