What percentage of the world's olive harvest winds up in martinis?

Much of the world's olive harvest is pressed to make olive oil. Olives are a common ingredient on pizza, in spaghetti sauce, and in baked bread. Olives are served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the Baltic Peninsula and throughout the Middle East. The most popular drink in these areas is anise flavored Ouzo, Mastika, which are not garnished with olives, or (in the Middle East) no alcohol at all.
To appropriately answer your question we need to match up global olive production with the production of gin and vodka--the two primary martini alcohols garnished with olives. Although California produces about 99% of the olives grown in the US, it only grows about 1% of the world's production. Throughout Russia and Eastern Europe vodka is typically imbibed alone, without being mixed. The martini cocktail with olive, therefore, is primarily most popular in Western Europe and the United States.
Armed with this information I believe we can safely estimate the amount of olive harvest ending up in martinis to be substantially less than 1%.

Are martinis fattening?
Martinis are less fattening than wine or beer or sweet mixed drinks (watch out for pina coladas!). However, they are also stronger, so drink them responsibly. Also, they are lower in calories if you order them garnished with a twist instead of an olive.

What is a full flavored evoo What is a full flavored extra virgin olive oil evoo?
A full flavored EVOO (or extra virgin olive oil) is an olive oil that is robust in flavor. Usually having a very "earthy" taste. Typically the EVOO with the fullest flavor is Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Most Greek EVOO is Kalamata. The one that I found has had the best full flavor is Martinis Extra Virgin Olive Oil, imported directly from Greece. It can be found at Amazon.com, shop.martinisinc.com, or even at your local Trader Joe's.
