Azapa Olive

Also known as Azapena or Sevillana de Azapa, this olive is named for the region in Chile where it is grown. This Chilean olive can range in size from medium to large and may be picked as a green olive but is most often violet black when harvested for the table. The fruit has an elongated shape and a thin outer skin covering a very fleshy inner meat. It is grown as a table olive to be served as a complement to food.
