◆ About the Ingredient "Olive"
In its production area, Palestine, olives have been cultivated since ancient times, and some ancient trees are thousands of years old. It begins bearing fruit in 5-7 years, and after 30~50 years, pruning is done after harvest to aid growth. The production group mainly uses pruning wood from trees over 50 years old. Branches and trunks are sent to lumber workers or directly from farmers to workshops, where they are transformed into crafts and daily necessities. Even small pieces of wood are used as fuel in winter without being discarded.
