The tintolive tree was a type of tree found on[1] the Core World of Chandrila that produced tintolives.[2] In 5 ABY,[3] the Galactic Concordance—the treaty that ended the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the New Republic—was signed by Chancellor Mon Mothma and Grand Vizier Mas Amedda under an ancient tintolive tree on the crystalline cliffs located north of Hanna City,[1] Chandrila's capital.[4]

At some point, the Artiodac chef Strono "Cookie" Tuggs learned of the tintolive trees on Chandrila and traveled to the world to harvest some on a culinary tour.[2] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY. In the latter year,[5] Tuggs documented his trip to Chandrila and included a recipe for a Chandrilan Cheese Board—a dish that used tintolives from the world's trees—in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook.[2]

Behind the scenes

The tintolive tree appeared in the current Star Wars canon in the 2017 novel Aftermath: Empire's End, written by Chuck Wendig.[1] Tintolive trees first appeared in the 2001 Star Wars Legends novel The New Jedi Order: Edge of Victory II: Rebirth, written by Greg Keyes.[6]

  5. ↑ Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
