Olive Trivia..
...don't you?




Olive trees may live to be 1500 years old, the average life span is about 500 years.

Over 90% of world olive production is used to make oil, and almost 98% of the acreage is in the Mediterranean region.

California is the only state where olives are grown commercially.

There are 500 million olive trees in Europe, and 50 million in California. California produces less than 5% of the world crop.

Ten medium size black olives have 50 calories and 4 grams of fat.
