What is the best olive oil?
98% of the world?s olive oil comes from the Mediterranean region, which has a history of olive tree cultivation that stretched back more than 6,000 years. Most of the world’s best and finest olive oils come from this area. To say which in particular is best is often a matter of taste, since, like fine wines, the flavors, colors and aromas of aromas of olive oils vary according to type olive grown, as well as climate and soil conditions, and so forth. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is highly regarded, as it offers the widest varieties of flavors and aromas, with a perfect fruity flavor. Since it is obtained exclusively by the pressing and centrifugation of crushed olives and is produced in limited quantities, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is less widely available than other grades of olive oil.
