∙ 8y agoYes, they do grow on trees! In fact, olive trees can grow very tall. They range in height from 26-50 feet at maturity... making the harvest of the taller varietals of olive a very dangerous job. Something perhaps not well known is that raw olives, while not poisonous, aren't edible. Freshly picked olives are far too bitter for human consumption. As a result, olives go through a brining process also known as "curing" before their delicious, nutritious benefits are consumed as food. However, olive oil can be consumed from pressings of raw fruit. Bon appetite!

well as in any sunny warm climate they are transplanted to.

What taste does olive have?
YES!!! The Kalamata olive has a MUCH stronger, saltier taste than your typical Spanish black olive. If you want something a little bit weaker in taste than the Kalamata go with a green olive, or stick with the black olives you find at the grocery store (they have the weakest taste). If you do want the best Kalamata or Greek Green Olives, I found that Martinis brand has the best taste, at the lowest price. And their olives are straight from Greece, and Kosher certified (incase that matters). You can find them on amazon.com or shop.martinisinc.com.
