Origin and life cycle of the olive tree
Olive oil comes from the olive tree (Olea europea var. europaea), a tree revered throughout Mediterranean history for its versatility and resilience. With a life cycle similar to that of humans, the olive tree grows slowly and can produce olives for decades. The careful selection of more than 2000 olive varieties over the centuries has contributed to the diversity and richness of this crop.
Olive growing is not only an economic activity, but also a link to the history and culture of Mediterranean regions. Olive groves, with their majestic century-old trees, are emblematic landscapes that have inspired artists and poets over the centuries. In addition, olive trees play an important role in the ecology of these regions, providing habitats for a variety of wildlife species and contributing to soil and water conservation.
Characteristics and extraction process of olive oil
Olive oil is unique among edible oils in that it is extracted directly from a fresh fruit, without the need for refinement. This extraction process, which involves crushing the olives and separating the oil from the vegetable paste, preserves its natural characteristics, including essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. Once obtained, the oil is carefully stored to maintain its quality and freshness.
