It is a prehistoric food.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][vc_column_text]One of the curiosities about olives is that, according to most historians, the cultivation of olive trees began in the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods, and as early as 3,000 BC olives were one of the foods grown commercially in Crete.

The olive tree is undoubtedly a tree of legend. Another of the curiosities about olives is its origin, although it is lost in the wilderness of oblivion, it has divine significance. According to Greek mythology, its origin lies in the dispute between Athena and Poseidon for the patronage of the city of Athens. The god of the sea created the horse with his trident. This vigorous and swift creature had to compete with Athena's creation, and the gods of Olympus had to choose which of the two was more suitable for the city. The goddess of war then created the olive tree, a tree whose fruit would provide food, strengthen people and give them light and warmth at night with its fire. The gods chose the olive tree of Athena, the goddess who gave her name to the city that has since been called Athens.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_empty_space height=»60px»][vc_single_image image=»3703″ img_size=»large» qode_css_animation=»»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=»» row_type=»row» use_row_as_full_screen_section=»no» type=»full_width» angled_section=»no» text_align=»left» background_image_as_pattern=»without_pattern»][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_single_image image=»3729″ img_size=»large» qode_css_animation=»»][vc_empty_space height=»20px»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]
