Olives: A Delightful and Nutritious Treat

Olives are among the most delicious and nutritious foods that can be enjoyed alongside main dishes. This fruit not only enhances the pleasure of eating but also offers exceptional nutritional value, providing protection against certain health issues.

Olives come in various colors such as green, yellow, red, purple, and black, with green and black being the most prominent. Contrary to popular belief, black olives are not merely ripened green olives. Despite the differences in type and color, both are nearly identical, with black olives being slightly richer in fat than green ones.

Mahram Company, utilizing skilled personnel and advanced industrial technology, has successfully processed and packaged this valuable fruit into products such as extra-large olives, special Iranian olives, salted olives, Greek-style olives, and Gilani-style olives for distribution.
