National Olive Day: Celebrating the Bold Flavor of Olives

National Olive Day is an excellent reminder of just how versatile and flavorful olives are—tiny fruits that have packed a punch in culinary traditions for thousands of years. Whether they’re served on their own as a snack, added to salads, or used to enhance your favorite sub, olives are more than just a simple ingredient. They carry with them a rich history and bold flavors that make every bite memorable. In honor of this day, our sub shop is here to delve into the history of olives and explore what makes them so special!

The History of Olives

Olives have been around for centuries, with origins dating back to ancient Mediterranean civilizations. The olive tree, native to the Mediterranean Basin, was revered not only for its fruit but also for its oil. Throughout history, olives have been a symbol of peace, fertility, and prosperity. In fact, the ancient Greeks and Romans used olive oil for everything from cooking to anointing their bodies, highlighting the fruit’s importance in their culture.

Why Olives Are So Special

So what makes olives such a standout? It’s their unique flavor. Olives can range from mild and buttery to bold and briny, offering a perfect balance of savory and slightly tangy notes that can elevate any dish. The type of olive used in your salad or sub can completely change the flavor profile, adding a layer of complexity that complements the freshness of greens, the richness of cheese, or the heartiness of meat.

But it’s not just about taste—olives are incredibly nutritious too. Packed with healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants, olives are a heart-healthy addition to any meal. They’re known to promote good cholesterol and reduce inflammation, making them a great choice for those looking to add a little extra health boost to their diet.

Why Olives Belong in Your Salad or Sub

At our sub shop, we believe that olives are more than just a garnish—they’re an essential part of the experience. The briny kick of Kalamata olives adds just the right amount of boldness to our fresh salads, while they also pair perfectly with the savory fillings in our subs. They bring depth to every bite, making each mouthful that much more satisfying.
