Latin name: Olea europea; Oleaceae family A symbol of peace, the olive tree was elevated to the rank of sacred tree in Antiquity. A tree with a tortuous appearance, it can reach 15-20 m and live for several centuries. But in most cultures, it generally does not exceed 10 m because it is frequently pruned to facilitate olive picking. Its entire leaves, leathery, with a downy upper surface of a shiny dark green, a light silvery green on the lower surface, are opposite, oval, elongated and persist for three years. Taste note: Slight bitterness
