It’s a little know fact that olive trees do not produce any olives for seven year after planting. In fact, olive trees follow a complex and unique lifecycle.
 
“A taste older than meat, older than wine. A taste as old as cold water.”

8,000 YEARS OF OLIVES

The silver-grey olive tree has been cultivated in and around the Mediterranean for 8,000 years and the trees live long: For example, the olives of the Garden of Gethsamane are still flourishing in the heart of Majorca today, some of these olive trees are over 1,000 years old.

 
 
 
Question #1: How can I pit an olive at home?

Answer: There are two methods to stone (or pit) an olive, with a tool or without.., With a tool, you will require an olive (or cherry) stoner, also known as a chasse noyer. It looks a bit like a leather puncher and works in a similar way. Place the base of the olive on the base of the stoner, so that the plunger sits over the olive’s top end. Press firmly and the stone will be ejected.
