Why should we eat olives every day?

Few other foods stay fresh day after day like olives (long shelf life and preservation). They are extremely versatile in terms of their culinary possibilities. In addition, olives improve and enhance the flavor of other foods such as chicken, beef, salmon, rice, fish, quinoa, pasta, hummus, chocolate, and avocado, among others. With so much diversity and so many benefits, this Mediterranean wonder never disappoints.

The messages are part of the campaign "Europe at your table with Olives from Spain" promoted by the Table Olive Interprofessional Organization (Interaceituna) and supported by the European Union, which aims to promote awareness of the benefits of eating European Olives in the U.S. In fact, this country is the main market for olives produced in Europe, importing 427 million dollars' worth of olives in 2020. More than 79% of the olives consumed by Americans came from EU countries.
