Where is olive oil produced best?
The countries that produce olive oil in the world are mainly Spanish, Italian, French, Greek, Tunisia, Egyptian, Moroccan, Turkish, Palestinian, Lebanese, Algerian and other countries. Among them, Spain has an olive tree planting area of over 900,000 hectares, making it the largest olive producer in the world. The annual consumption of olive oil in the world is nearly 2 billion liters, while the per capita consumption in Greece is 20 liters, ranking first in the world. But the best quality olive oil is produced in the south of France, because French olive oil is mostly extracted from cooked olives, with golden color and soft taste. If you want to rub it on your skin, you need to buy raw and virgin ones. Good olive oil should be packed in a dark bottle, because it is rich in vitamin E and can't see the light. Olives are better produced in Mediterranean countries, such as Spain, so it is not very important to find a good place of origin and brand. Read the word virgin clearly when you buy it. The first time it means virgin, it means virgin.
