Except from the Herbal Academy: “Olive oil has a rich and magical history in Greece, where the landscape is dotted with millions of majestic olive trees. Derived from the pressing of ripe olives picked from the Olea europaea tree, this supreme food has been used for thousands of years in the Mediterranean region, Asia, and Africa. The magic of Greek olive oil stems from a combination of rich cultural traditions, as well as its benefits and usages in both cuisine and herbalism.”
