How Olives Grow and Olive Tree Farming
Olive trees thrive in Mediterranean-like climates, flourishing in nutrient-rich soil and ample sunlight. These resilient trees are deeply rooted, symbolizing longevity and peace in many cultures. The olives ripen gradually, absorbing the unique characteristics of the terroir.
