Oil olives is a generic term used to group varieties of olives that are grown primarily for pressing into oil.
These olives are now mechanically harvested, unlike table olives, which are still harvested by hand, because it does not matter if the appearance of the olives is somewhat damaged during harvesting.
90% of the olives grown in the world are for pressing into oil. The other broad category of olives is “table olives“: olives meant for consumption out of hand.
