Olive oil has a rich history dating back to 6000 BCE, with its origins in the Eastern Mediterranean region. It has played a significant role in various civilizations, including the Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians, who used it for cooking, lighting, medicinal purposes, and as a beauty product. Olive oil production expanded during the Middle Ages, the Islamic Golden Age, and the Age of Exploration, eventually reaching the Americas. The Industrial Revolution brought innovations like the hydraulic press, making olive oil more accessible. Today, olive oil is celebrated for its health benefits as a staple of the Mediterranean diet, with Spain, Italy, and Greece leading global production.
