As Homer
used to call
olive oil:
Since the first olive tree was
planted in Greece, believed to
have been on Crete around 3500
BC in the Early Minoan times,
olive oil has became
synonymous with the Greek
nutrition throughout the
centuries.
Today Greek olive oil is regarded
as the best in the world as it
carries very low acidity and
peroxides which make them of
premium quality, and can be
recognized mainly from the
fruitiness, the bitterness and the
pungency in the taste.
