Black olives, treasured jewels of the Mediterranean, are fruits harvested from the Olea europaea tree. These olives offer a robust flavor and a unique, concentrated phytochemical composition. Unlike their green counterparts, black olives undergo an extended ripening and fermentation process, significantly boosting their oleuropein content - a key phenolic compound.

This potent compound plays a crucial role as a guardian of cognitive barriers, supporting a robust communication system along the gut and brain that fosters an active and creative mind. Oleuropein is also an essential contributor to brain fuel, providing sustained cognitive energy and actively promoting positive stimuli during learning and retention activities. With these virtues, black olives truly embody a resource for the active mind.
