'''Olives ''' have existed as a domesticated crop in the Mediterranean since biblical times. The raw fruits are pressed to make [[olive oil]], The oil can be further prepared into [[butter]] or animal fat substitutes. The fruit can be processed into green or black olives. Green olives are [[pickled]] before being ripened, black olives after. They may be stored in brine, oil or even [[vinegar]]. They may also be stuffed, sometimes with [[pimentoes]] and are often served as nibbles with drinks. They are a valuable addition to the kitchen. | '''Olives ''' have existed as a domesticated crop in the Mediterranean since biblical times.
