Olives, native to the region around the Mediterranean Sea, have been prized for millenia as one of the most important sources of oil in the world. Famous for their taste and their health benefits, olives are recognized today as as one of the healthiest foods we can eat, just as they have been known for centuries to be one of the tastiest.
From the earliest cookbooks we know to the Julia Childs and James Beards of today, herbs have been long been recognized by cooks from the most famous of chefs to the humblest of grandmothers as a way to enhance the flavor of the foods we eat. From ancient caravans to modern aircraft, bringing herbs to diners' doors has been one of the most important industries in the world.
Cultivated across Europe and Asia since the beginnings of civilization, garlic has been a standby "chef's secret" for ages. The flavor of garlic, whether lightly sauteed and mixed with pasta or steeped with oil and eaten with warm crusty bread, is well known for both its deliciousness and its immense health benefits.
