Chinese olive is a firm-fleshed tropical fruit with a hard stone, eaten fresh or cooked and also sold salted, sweetened or otherwise preserved.

Chinese olive is the fruit of a tropical evergreen tree, commonly sold fresh or preserved in parts of East and Southeast Asia. The oval fruit has a hard central stone and a firm, somewhat astringent flesh; its flavour can be tart and resinous when fresh, becoming more mellow in processed forms.
Fresh fruit may be eaten or cooked, while salted, sweetened or otherwise preserved versions are also sold. The name refers to a fruit distinct from the familiar Mediterranean olive. Nutrition comparisons should identify fresh versus preserved fruit and account for added salt, sugar or other processing.
