3. Olive Oil

Olive oil is made from the fleshy section of the mature olive fruit (Olea europaea). Olive oil ranges in color from pure yellow to golden, with some unripe kinds having a greenish tint. Almost every nation that grows olives produces oils with different characteristics and quality, with the differences dependent on the area and the freshness of the fruit. Depending on the environment and cultivation care, the ripe olive fruit with the pit removed contains 20 to 30% oil. Virgin olive oils are those derived from the first mechanical pressing of olives without any further processing, and their quality is determined by the state of the fruit.
