What it is

Olives are the fruit of the olive tree, native to the Mediterranean region. They are typically harvested when green or ripe and then cured using various methods, such as brining in salt water or packing in oil, to make them edible and preserve them.

Why it's used

Olives are primarily used as a food ingredient and garnish, adding a distinct salty and briny flavor. They are commonly found in dishes like salads, pizzas, pasta sauces, tapenades, and as a standalone snack, often appearing in pickle and relish products.

Health notes

Olives are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy. Olives also contain antioxidants and other beneficial plant compounds. JECFA has evaluated olives and their derivatives.

Allergen info

Olives are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
