Indeed, olives have been grown and cultivated throughout the Mediterranean—from Italy, Spain and Greece to Morocco, Turkey and Tunisia—since ancient times. This site, produced by the International Olive Oil Council, highlights why olive oil is so prized—not only for its taste, but also for its nutritional properties. The site includes the history of olive oil, tips on selecting and using olive oil, as well as a detailed look at the health benefits of incorporating olive oil into your diet.
