Have you ever wondered about olive varieties, types and their presentation?

The concept of "table olives" gives its name to the fruit of varieties of olives belonging to the cultivated olive tree, harvested when ripe and of high quality, since by establishing a suitable process we will maintain its conservation and it will be a product ready for consumption.

In Spain, different varieties of olives are cultivated, the most important of which are the Camomilethe Gordal and the Verdial.
