Olives in Israel
The olive's colors are green to yellow- green. The color of the leaves is green. The trunk is rough. The olives were domesticated 6,000 years ago. They were "born" in the Mediterranean Sea area. The very first mention of the olive tree is, not unexpectedly, in connection with the restoration of the earth after the Flood. Noah sends out a dove, and the dove returns with an olive leaf both the dove and the leaf reinforce the spiritual implications, the emergence of new life. Companies that produce oil in Israel: Today, the olives and olive products in Israel are produced in one of the best ways. Most of the time they are produced in an industrial process but when the olive products are produced in a hand-made way they have a great taste and they are full of love and care from the people that made them. The old way to make olive oil is to mash the olive with a special facility. There are two huge stones where one is on the ground and one is above it. A man puts olives on the stone that is on the ground and begins to rotate the other stone on the stone with the olives. He mashes the olives and he gets olive oil. It takes many olives to produce a drop of olive oil, more than a 100 olives. The olive is one of the vegetables that religious people bless with.
