Facts about olive oil: Olive Oil is a fruit oil obtained from the olive,a traditional tree crop of
the Mediterranean Basin. It is commonly used in cooking. Olive Oil is considered a
healthy oil because of its high content of monounsaturated fat (mainly oleic acid) and
polyphenols.There is evidence from epidemiological studies to suggest that a higher
proportion of monounsaturated fats in the diet is linked with a reduction in the risk of
coronary disease. Over 750 million olive trees cultivated worldwide, with 95% in the
Mediterranean region. About 93% of the global olive oil production comes from European
Union. Greece holds third place in world olive production(350,000 tons)annually, of
which 82% is extra-virgin.This makes Greece the world's biggest producer of extra-virgin
olive oil,topping Italy & Spain.
