The olive tree: our most international tree, beyond decoration

Every country has emblematic trees that form part of its long history. Denmark chose the beech, the Ginkgo represents China and the oak represents England. In Spain, the holm oak is our national tree, and, additionally, the olive tree, the father of the world’s most appreciated extra virgin olive oil, occupies a prominent place. In Alevoo, we appreciate the beauty of that centenary species that stands out, both for providing us with one of the most coveted foods, but also for its Mediterranean flavor.

Alevoo and the olive tree

“The olive tree is the origin of our existence, the starting point of the olive. It is so important to us that we have even incorporated it into our logo,” explain the four sisters who found Alevoo. From the very beginning, the founders of the premium and organic extra virgin olive oil company understood that their logo had to send a message, it had to speak. That is why they created a map of the world from an olive right in Spain -the starting point- and olive tree branches and leaves forming the entire World as a unique olive tree. “An olive tree that is a symbol of peace, resistance and renewal, prosperity, brightness and happiness, and which is also pure generosity, providing us with the olives from which we obtain the best juices to make our extra virgin olive oils and all our organic products,” the brand explains.

In addition to the World Olive Tree Day, Alevoo wants to analyze the impact that that tree has on societies, beyond its contribution in terms of food. Known as ‘Olea europaea’, that species is part of the culture of countless Mediterranean countries and has become a new object of desire far from the countryside. In cities, decorators and interior designers are appealing to natural inspiration, positive environmental impact and wilder aesthetics by incorporating olive trees into urban gardens, indoors and outdoors.

With simple care, acceptable size and a very welcoming look, olive trees have become a big trend in private and public spaces. Reputed designers such as Nate Berkus, known for their successful minimalist character, confess to being great lovers of these trees converted for interiors. From millenary proposals, to accompany outdoor environments, to small formats in pots or pruned along the lines of a bonsai, they triumph in spaces of all styles which receive six hours of direct light every day.

As decorative objects at home, olive trees make certain corners of the house more elegant, which would otherwise look drab. In combination with other natural materials such as jute, linen, clay, raffia, ceramics and esparto grass, olive trees are the perfect companions for country houses or any magazine-worthy living rooms everywhere. Over time, olive trees have also become highly acclaimed centerpieces in renowned hotels and restaurants around the world.

“Numerous decorative uses are being made of olive trees all over the world. In roundabouts, parks, avenues and rest areas. There is no doubt that it is spectacular indoors and outdoors. We understand that nowadays, it has become a viral phenomenon. We travel around the world and, beyond our environment, the Sierra de Cazorla Natural Park, we have found olive trees in restaurants of cosmopolitan cities of Spain, in museums in several countries of Europe and Middle East, and even at the feet of the tallest building of the world “Burj Khalifa” in Dubai, the company concludes.
