Alkoth is known for its Green Oil Berries--grown from trees sacred to the Green King. I don't remember if this was written up in either issue of Enclosure or not. Similar oil-bearing berries (not necessarily olives, though they could be) are probably grown in Darani  along the Erinflarth and likely in the Terarir stretch of the Oslir. I don't think they are found in Vanch or further south in Saird.
