Olives

<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>Hi folks,
I am not too sure if this is off topic. If so, my apologies.

So far, I have not seen any Olive Oil from China. I am not sure if
there is any. Could anyone enlighten me on this? At home, I am now
experimenting cooking Chinese dishes with Olive Oil.

What I also want to ask here is, apart from Olive Oil, are there any
other industries related to Olives? In China, preserved olives are a
great thing with the Chinese. Some are for better digestion. Some are
sold as tidbits. I remember my schooldays when we would go to the
tidbit stall to buy a wrapping of three dried preserved olives for 5
Singapore cents. Nowadays, it is more expensive.

Cheers!

<pre>Dear Victor,
there has been a FAO project for the introduction and development of olive
cultivation in China. I participated to it
in 1986 as a consultant. Groves had been planted in Hubei, Yunnan, Shansi,
Hebei, but the best conditions in my view
were those of certain locations of Szechuan (Santai County). There I tasted very
high quality olive oil. The project
was under the supervision of the Ministry of Forestry (!). Unfortunately I don't
have any more recent news, and myself
I would be glad to know whether those trees are still there, and if oil is still
produced.
