Spanish Olive oil: The olive tree and its fruit are part of the history of mankind and played a relevant part in ancient civilisations. From the olive fruit we obtain olive oil, the therapeutic, nutritional and culinary uses, applications and properties of which have been known for millennia and give the olive tree a divine dimension.”
Spain is currently the country with the most olive trees (more than 164,000 olive trees on 2,483,697 hectares). This gives Spain greater olive oil efficiency and productivity and makes it the world leader.
Spain produces annually an average of one million tons of olive oil.
Over 60% of the surface area occupied by olive trees and 80% of the production of olive oil in Spain is to found in the fertile lands of Andalusia.
Some 69% of the olive oil Spain exports to the world is of the Virgin category, which is the highest percentage of all producing countries. The virgin olive oils are the ones obtained from the fruit of the olive tree only by mechanical or other physical procedures that rule out any alteration of the product.
