About Olive Oil |
| |
|
| |
Olive oil culture is so deeply rooted in the history of the Eastern Mediterranean. There is no accurate information as to the start of olive oil production. However, olive pressing technology is known to be operational for approximately 3000 years. An olive oil workshop found in Urla, Izmir is unerringly 2600 years old. Throughout history, olive oil has been widely considered as a source of health, youth and strength. In ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, people made various medicines and cosmetic products by mixing olive oil with different flowers and herbs. Turkey is the fifth largest olive oil producer after Spain, Italy, Greece and Tunisia. Its average annual production is approximately 140,000 tons. While 60,000 tons of this quantity is consumed domestically, the rest is exported. In Turkey, there are nearly 100 million productive olive trees and 500,000 families earn their living from olive cultivation.
