Abstract
The cultivated olive (Olea europaea L.) is an evergreen, long-lived tree existing natively in the Mediterranean basin, accounting for more than 98% of the world’s cultivation: 9.55 out of 9.69 × 106 ha of recorded cultivated area (Food and Agriculture Organization, FAOSTAT, 2009). The fruits of olive tree (olives) are utilized for different purposes (i.e., olive oil, table olives, or both uses) depending on the cultivar.
