 From ancient times Greek people value the olive tree as one of the most significant gift from Gods. The olive tree Olea Europaea, belongs to the Oleaceae family. Is known as one of the first cultivated trees. All parts of the olive tree are usable. The olive, fruit of the olive tree, is used for producing olive oil "the liquid gold" which helped people survive during hunger periods, also the olives are cultivated for consumption as table olives. The beautiful olive tree wood was original used for making cooking items, nowadays you can find a big range of products made from it. The olive seeds known also as stones or pits were used for making jewelry, now we are among the few ones continuing the tradition and still making small decorative items from the olive seed. And the olive leaves were dried and used for tea making. Today there are available many varieties from simple whole dried leaves, powdered, capsules, and extracts.
