Abstract
Olive oil has an ancient history dating back to 3000 BC or even earlier. Cultivation of the olive tree probably started in the Middle East and then spread throughout the Mediterranean basin. All the cuisines of the area exploited its culinary properties and it has also been used to produce light, maintain body tone and heal wounds.
