A.
The olive tree is an evergreen tree. It grows in the Mediterranean, Asia and Africa. The
tree is not very high, not more than 8–10 metres. The olive trees are great survivors. They can resist
droughts and diseases and live up to a great age. Many olive trees in the Mediterranean are said to
be hundreds of years old. The older the olive tree, the broader its trunk becomes.
B.
Olives are very rich in minerals and vitamins A, E, K and B. Even in Ancient Rome
women applied olive oil to their skin and hair to make them look fresh and healthy. Nowadays olive
oil is a popular ingredient in skin care products too. A lot of famous cosmetic brands use it as a base
ingredient for creams, lotions and shampoos.
C.
In general, the olive tree is associated with long life, wealth, glory and peace. In ancient
Greece, the branches of the olive tree were used to crown the champions of the Olympic Games. It
was considered to be a great award – the olive leaves meant victory and triumph. This tradition was
revived during the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, in 2004
D.
Olives are one of the world's most widely enjoyed foods. Besides providing energy, they
407
have a lot of anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins, primarily vitamin E. Olives also play a vital role
fighting against cancer, heart diseases, nerve diseases, diabetes and many others illnesses. Recent
studies have proved that regular consumption of olive oil can help to avoid stomach and blood pres-
sure problems.
E
. Besides eating them right out of the jar, there are lots of ways to add olives to your eve-
ryday meal plan. You can add them to pasta, meat and fish dishes. They are also great in stews, sal-
ads and all types of snacks. Their sweet, sour, salty, bitter and spicy flavors are complex. And this
makes olives a favourite ingredient for any chef.
F.
You can understand whether the olives are ripe or not from their colour. Green olives are
not ripe yet. When they get ripe, they become black. Both green and black olives are great food.
Green olives are usually picked, in September and October. Black olives are picked in November
and December. Traditionally, picking olives is done by hand.
G.
When an experienced cook eats an olive, he can say a lot about the tree it came from. The
taste of the olive can give information about the region and climate, where the tree is grown and
about the time of the harvest. For example, the popular Kalamata olives come from southern
Greece. They have a rich fruity flavour.
