Olive Mania in the Mediterranean

Olives. They seem to be everywhere here - on trees, in tins and jars or bottled as oil - and no meal is complete without them as an appetiser.


Of course we eat them in Australia too, but only in Spain and Portugal can you truly appreciate the journey from tree to table.

We love them and thought we'd post these beautiful photos to show you what we've been eating non-stop since we got here!

Thanks for the olive pictures - I showed Nika and Hannah for the first time how olives grow!
