International Olive Oil
Council
By
far the most commonly used oil throughout the Mediterranean
region comes from the fruit of the olive tree. Indeed,
olives have been grown and cultivated throughout the Mediterranean—from
Italy, Spain and Greece to Morocco, Turkey and Tunisia—since
ancient times. This site, produced by the International
Olive Oil Council, highlights why olive oil is so prized—not
only for its taste, but also for its nutritional properties.
The site includes the history of olive oil, tips on selecting
and using olive oil, as well as a detailed look at the
health benefits of incorporating olive oil into your diet.
The site also features a large selection of healthy dishes
that all use olive oil in some form.
