Thins or thick, green or black, filled or plain, olives can be consumed with almost everything just as they can be consumed on their own. This tiny and humble fruit is not only a source of health and longevity, but also a unique snack for those who know how to enjoy it.

The use of olives starts in salad but does not end there. Mince some olives and put them in your sauces or pies; your guests will wonder where the flavor comes from. Or just put a bowl of olives on your table, along with fresh bread, to “open” your meal. It does not get any simpler. It does not get any “richer”.
