The olive is a a species of small tree in the family Oleaceae found throughout Mediterranean region. Because of its prominence in Greece and Italy, it has historically played a significant role in their cultures and has been a major agricultural product in these countries since ancient times.[1][2]

Its fruit, also called the olive, is a core ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, and the olive wreath was the prize of the champion of the Olympic Games.[1] The tree itself was a substantial source of wood for the Greeks during the Peloponnesian War.[1] To this day, owing to the legacy of Classical Greek culture, the olive branch remains a symbol of peace.[3]
