Olio extravergine di oliva
Traditionelles Agrar- und Lebensmittelprodukt, nationale Liste des italienischen Landwirtschaftsministeriums
Olive oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing whole olives (the fruit of Olea europaea, a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin) and extracting the oil.
It is commonly used in cooking for frying foods, as a condiment, or as a salad dressing. It can also be found in some cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, soaps, and fuels for traditional oil lamps. It also has additional uses in some religions. The olive is one of three core food plants in Mediterranean cuisine, with wheat and grapes. Olive trees have been cultivated around the Mediterranean since the 8th millennium BC.
In 2022, Spain was the world's largest producer, manufacturing 24% of the world's total.
