Olive Oil History
Homer called it "liquid gold." In ancient Greece,
athletes ritually rubbed it all over their body.
Its mystical glow illuminated history. Drops of
it seeped into the bones of dead saints and
martyrs through holes in their tombs. Olive oil
has been more than mere food to the peoples of
the Mediterranean it has been medicinal,
magical, an endless source of fascination and
wonder and the fountain of great wealth and
power. The olive tree, symbol of abundance, glory
and peace, gave its leafy branches to crown the
victorious in friendly games and bloody war, and
the oil of its fruit has anointed the noblest of
heads throughout history. Olive crowns and olive
branches, emblems of benediction and purifiation,
were ritually offered to deities and powerful
figures some were even found in Tutankhamen's
tomb.

Olive Oil History Olive culture has ancient
roots. Fossilized remains of the olive tree's
ancestor were found, dating from twenty million
years ago, although actual cultivation probably
did not occur until the fifth century B.C. Olives
were first cultivated in the Eastern part of the
Mediterranean, in the region known as the
"fertile crescent," and moved westwards over the
millennia. Beginning in 5000 B.C. and until 1400
B.C., olive cultivation spread from Crete to
Syria, Palestine, and Israel commercial
networking and application of new knowledge then
brought it to Southern Turkey, Cyprus, and Egypt.
Until 1500 B.C., Greece -- particularly Mycenae
-- was the area most heavily cultivated. With the
expansion of the Greek colonies, olive culture
reached Southern Italy and Northern Africa in the
eighth century B.C., then spread into Southern
France. Olive trees were planted in the entire
Mediterranean basin under Roman rule. In the
land of the Hebrews, King Solomon and King David
placed great importance on the cultivation of
olive trees King David even had guards watching
over the olive groves and warehouses, ensuring
the safety of the trees and their precious oil.

Olive Oil Nutrition Facts
Like other types of vegetable oils, olive oil
contains no cholesterol, has 120 calories and 14
grams of fat per tablespoon. What makes olive oil
important in heart disease is its high
concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids,
compounds that decrease blood levels of LDL
cholesterol (the type associated with plaque
build-up in the arteries) and increase levels of
protective HDL cholesterol. Compare the amounts
of monounsaturated fat in several different types

cholesterol and plaque to build-up on the walls
of arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and an
increased risk of heart attack. Monounsaturated
fats, instead of causing elevated levels of
cholesterol, may help decrease cholesterol in the
body and protect against heart disease.

Extra virgin", Extra light" ,Pure and
Organic Olive Oil
All olive oil is classified mainly by the amount
of acidity, as well as the flavor, color and
aroma. "Extra virgin" olive oil meets the highest
standards for low acidity and rich and fruity
taste. It has a dark green color, and should be
used in salads, marinades, and for basting meats
to bring out the full flavor."Pure" olive oil
has a lighter color and aroma, and is often used
as a general, all-purpose olive oil. "Extra
light" olive oil refers to the very subtle olive
flavor and not the amount of calories or fat.
People who don't like the rich taste of "extra
virgin" olive oil will find "extra light" olive
oils a good substitute for other vegetable oils
such as corn or safflower oil.Organic olives
are farmed organically, without the use of
chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides
according to European Union directives.

OIL IS DEFINED..

• Sweet when the scent is graceful, gentle and not
  very accentuated. It gives an initially light
  sensation accompanied by an almond aftertaste. It
  should be neither too supple nor too sweet.
• Bitter usually a negative characteristic of oils
  produced by sour olives, often accompanied by a
  hint of the leaf. With time it can become woody.
  A light, slightly bitter aftertaste is not to be
  considered negative.
• Sharp a typical flavour of fresh oils,
  accompanied usually by a brilliant green colour,
  which fades until disappearing with the passing
  of time.
• Harmonious it is said of a complete oil with no
  predominant traces or flavours, and which is
  evident as soon as one tastes it. It is the best
  quality.
• Characteristic it betrays in a strong way the
  character of the area of cultivation or of the
  particular orchard. It is not necessarily a
  defect, and often can be considered a positive
  trait.
• Aggressive is said of a disharmonious oil, with
  one or more excessively intense components which
  end up overpowering other components.
• Oxidized is said of a product which has been
  exposed to the air for considerable amounts of
  time and thus has begun to become rancid due to
  reaction with oxygen. It is immediately
  recognized and no longer fit for consumption.
