The love story of the Mediterranean with olive began more than 6000 years ago and by 3000 BC, it was widely cultivated on the island of Crete. In the age of the Mycenaean Greeks, olive oil was used as food, fuel, moisturiser, preservative, perfume and much more, leading their ancient poet Homer to call it “liquid gold”. The love for olive oil was passed on to the Romans as well, and to suitable Meditteranean outposts like Spain where the climatic conditions matched those of Greece, Rome and the Levant. Today, olives are produced in many more regions across the world, and olive oil, packed with Vitamin A, D, K, and E and containing antioxidant, nourishing properties, has been eagerly welcomed into nutrition plans, as well as wellness and beauty regimens.
