Hot Topic: Olive History
The
Olive was a native to Asia Minor and spread from Iran, Syria and
Palestine to the rest of the Mediterranean basin 6,000 years ago.
It is among the oldest known cultivated trees in the world - being
grown before the written language was invented. It was
being grown on Crete by 3,000 BC and may have been the source of
the wealth of the Minoan kingdom. The Phoenicians spread the
olive to the Mediterranean shores of Africa and Southern Europe.
Olives have been found in Egyptian tombs from 2000 years BC.
The olive culture was spread to the early Greeks then Romans.
As the Romans extended their domain they brought the olive with
them.
