Nutritional Value

Offering significant benefits for human health and longevity, olives and their products contain valuable nutrients for a balanced diet, especially for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine. Since ancient times, the olive fruit has been considered blessed, symbolizing knowledge, wisdom, health, abundance, beauty, and strength. Olives contain calcium, sodium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin E, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and fats.
Studies have shown that olives consist of 11–15% fat, most of which is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat with many health benefits. Olives improve heart health, are rich in antioxidants, are believed to help prevent osteoporosis, and play an important role in maintaining a healthy immune system. They are also rich in polyphenols, a natural compound with strong antioxidant properties, which, among other benefits, reduces oxidative stress in the brain.
