The symbolism of the olive
The olive tree captures the imagination. Not only because of its delicious oil, “liquid gold” and tasty olives for cooking, but also because of its symbolic significance. Already among the ancient Greeks and Romans, the olive was associated with peace, victory and a positive image of the future. In the Mediterranean areas, the olive used to be a precious possession that you were very careful about.
Nowadays, giving an olive tree is a sign of connection and friendship. It ratifies a lasting relationship.
