Olive Organic Extra Virgin Oil, 50ml

Latin name: Olea europaea fruit oil *

Botanical name: Olea europaea

Part of the plant: Pulp of the olive

Process for obtaining:
- Storage of the picked fruits for the shortest possible period (a few hours to 2 or 3 days)
- Washing of the sorted olives with water
- Grinding: the whole olives are crushed to tear the envelopes of the cells of the fruit (pulp, kernel and almond) and thus release the oil
- Essential mixing to facilitate the release of the oil and improve the yield
- Separation of oil/vegetation water/solid parts in a centrifugal decanter
This pure fruit juice, not treated, manufactured at low temperature (30 to 40°C) is absolutely natural.

🌿 Origins & Early Use
Prehistoric and Bronze Age (6000–3000 BCE)
Earliest evidence of olive tree cultivation dates back to around 6000 BCE in the Eastern Mediterranean - particularly in regions of modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.

The Minoans of Crete (circa 3500–1500 BCE) were among the first to cultivate olives extensively and use the oil for cooking, lighting, and rituals.

Olive oil was already a sacred and economic commodity during this period, traded across the Aegean and Near East.

🏺 Olive Oil in Antiquity
Ancient Egypt
Olive oil was used for body anointing, perfumery, cosmetics, and mummification.

Egyptians imported olive oil due to limited olive tree cultivation along the Nile.

Ancient Greece
Olive oil was central to daily life: used for cooking, skincare, religious offerings, and in athletics (used to coat athletes' bodies).

The olive tree was sacred to Athena, and olive oil was a symbol of peace and prosperity.

Wreaths of olive branches were awarded to Olympic victors.

Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine,” referred to olive oil as “the great therapeutic”.

Ancient Rome
Romans expanded olive cultivation across their empire - from Spain to North Africa and the Middle East.

Olive oil was ranked in grades of quality, used for lamps, baths, cooking, and healing.

Roman legions were even paid in olive oil and wine at times - showing its value.

🕊 Olive Oil in Religion & Symbolism
Judaism
Olive oil was used in the Menorah, a sacred lamp in the Temple of Jerusalem.

Associated with purity, light, and blessing.

Christianity
Symbol of peace, anointing, and divine favor.

Used in sacraments like baptism, confirmation, and anointing of the sick.

The “Mount of Olives” in Jerusalem is a significant biblical location.

Islam
The Quran refers to the olive tree as a blessed tree (Surah An-Nur 24:35).

Olive oil is praised for its healing properties and used in prophetic medicine.

⚱️ Middle Ages to Modern Times
In the Middle Ages, olive oil production remained vital in Islamic Spain, Byzantine Empire, and Mediterranean monasteries.

Used in medicine and as a base for medieval salves and ointments.

During the Renaissance and Enlightenment, demand grew for high-quality culinary olive oil, and its use spread into northern Europe.

In the 19th–20th centuries, scientific research began confirming its health benefits, particularly for heart health and longevity.

🌍 Modern Era
Olive oil is a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, linked to anti-inflammatory effects, cardiovascular health, and skin/hair care.

Global production is led by Spain, Italy, Greece, Tunisia, and Turkey.

It’s widely used not only in cooking but also in natural skincare, naturopathy, aromatherapy, and herbal medicine.

Modern cold-pressed, organic extra virgin oils like Organic Olive (AB) preserve these ancient health properties.
