The history of olive oil in American Heart Association;
Olive trees in ancient Mediterranean history
Olive tree is one of the oldest tree species in the world. No one knows the exact time when the first olive tree was born, but the historic olive originated in the Mediterranean coast. As a species, olive trees have existed in the Mediterranean coast for a long time. Near Livorno, in north-central Italy, the fossil of olive trees was found 20 million years ago. Archaeological findings show that there are many clay pots for storing olive oil and stone tools for oil extraction in Minos Palace ruins of Crete civilization, and there are also scenes depicting local people offering olive oil to gods in murals. It can be inferred that olive trees were planted in Crete around 3500 BC. Later, it spread from there to Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian areas where Semou lived in the eastern Mediterranean. Around 1800 BC, with the prosperity and external expansion of Greece, olive trees gradually spread to Italy, France and Spain on the northern and western shores of the Mediterranean. In the 9th century BC, Phoenicians living in present-day Lebanon developed navigation technology and brought olive trees to Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and other North African countries on the southern shore of the Mediterranean. By the heyday of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century A.D., olive trees had been widely planted in the whole Mediterranean region. Even in the myths of ancient Athens and Rome, when heroes, gods and beautiful goddesses made history, they first saw the olive tree.
The history of olive oil is a healthy and beautiful history.
For thousands of years, olive oil has been used for skin care and even medicine. The ancient Egyptians used olive oil as a medicine to treat all kinds of witchcraft, as an ointment to lubricate the body of track and field athletes, as holy oil to praise shrines, as oil for patients and as liquid fuel to light colored lights and wishing lights. From 980 BC to 7 15 BC, bathing with olive oil was very common. For the ancient Egyptians, it was the goddess Isis who passed on the technology of extracting olive oil. According to legend, Venus, the ancient Greek goddess of love, and Sappho, the ancient Greek poetess of love, used olive oil as cosmetics. Cleopatra VII is a stunning beauty in history. Besides her natural beauty, she was also endowed with the charm of olive oil. Every morning, she always carefully spreads olive oil all over her body. Her delicate and smooth skin and shiny black hair are the important reasons why she fascinated Caesar. In western European ancient paintings and Egyptian pyramid murals, all kinds of beautiful women have one thing in common, that is, there is always a maid beside the beautiful woman holding a clay pot carefully, which contains mysterious olive oil. In the eyes of westerners, olive oil is the source of beauty. Therefore, the history of olive oil is a healthy and beautiful history.
The olive tree originated from Adam, the ancestor of mankind.
According to Genesis, God built a paradise for Adam and Eve in Eden in the east. There are all kinds of pleasant trees in the garden. The fruit can be used as food, including the tree of life and the tree of good and evil. Four rivers flow out of the garden, nourishing the Garden of Eden: the first one is called bison, which surrounds the whole land of Havilah; The second road is called basic training, which surrounds the whole of Ethiopia; The third one is called Hidekiel, which flows to the east of Assyria. The fourth road is the Euphrates River. God let Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden and let them repair and guard it. God told them, "You can eat anything from all the trees in the garden, but you should not eat from the tree of good and evil, because you will die on the day you eat." Satan used to be an angel of God, but later he degenerated into the leader of the devil and evil spirits. One day, he lured Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the shape of a snake, and God drove them out of the Garden of Eden to punish them. So Adam and Eve rebuilt their homes on the earth. Legend has it that Adam sent his son Seth before he died to beg the angel to let him guard the mountain where the Garden of Eden is located and make atonement for himself and all mankind. The angel picked three seeds from the tree of good and evil and told Seth, "When your father dies, put these three seeds in his mouth." Seth did this. After Adam died, he was buried in Tabor Mountain. After that, these three seeds germinated and took root, and grew into tall evergreen olive trees, cedars and cypresses.
The ancient scientific civilization in the Mediterranean was immersed in the magical olive culture.
Olive culture along the Mediterranean coast is not only reflected in religion and mythology, but also infiltrated into the scientific civilization of the ancient Mediterranean, especially in ancient Greece and Rome. As early as 400 BC, Socrates discovered the oval shape of olives, and the sharp little fruit at the top has powerful anti-aging function. He used olives as a prescription for ulcers, gallbladder and muscle pain. Aristotle studied the olive tree deeply and finally promoted its cultivation to a science. Solon promulgated the first law to protect it. Pliny Sr recorded the characteristics of olive trees in detail in natural history. Homer thinks olive oil is "liquid gold", and there are many olive trees in his work "Suffering", for example, "Ulysses and his companions stabbed Sikorop in the eye with the trunk of an olive tree. The Greeks introduced the cultivation of olive trees to Italy, which is very suitable for the growth of olive trees. " Hippocrates regarded it as a "great therapeutic agent". Cato's "Agricultural Records" and Varo's "On Industry" both made detailed technical descriptions on how to manage olives. Virgil once commented on the olive tree in the epic agnes: "People can be purified in eternal health according to the olive branch full of fruits." Most of these ancient scientific civilizations in the Mediterranean are branded with olive culture.
Olive oil kingdom-Spain;
During the Roman Empire and the Arab occupation, the cultivation of olive trees and olive oil played a very important role in Spanish society and Spanish cooking. During the Spanish conquest of America in 16 and 17 centuries, olive trees were brought to Peru, Chile, Argentina and Mexico. At present, Spain is the country with the largest number of olive trees in the world (more than 300 million plants, more than 2.2 million hectares), with an average annual output of more than 6.5438+0.4 million tons of olive oil, reaching 6.5438+0.4 million tons at the highest, accounting for about 45% of the world's total olive oil output, with an annual output twice that of Italy and four times that of Greece. /kloc-From the 20th century to the late industrial revolution, Spanish olive oil began to be exported on a large scale, making olive oil fragrant all over the world. At present, as the world's largest exporter of olive oil, Spain's annual export of olive oil has reached 550,000 tons. Surprisingly, Italy is actually the largest importer of Spanish olive oil. Spain not only ranks first in olive oil production in the world, but also has world-class quality. 49% of its exported olive oil is extra virgin olive oil, which is the highest among all olive oil producing countries.
Andalusia, Arabic AL-ANDALUS, is called "the land kissed by God". Andalusia has ideal conditions for growing olives: hot and long summer, mild and short winter and drizzling spring, which is very conducive to planting trees and flowering. As early as the Roman Empire, people began to grow olives in this area. Andalusia is the most important olive oil producing area in Spain, and its olive oil production accounts for more than 80% of Spain's national output. Betis olive oil comes from Andalusia, the hometown of olive oil.
Seville is the ancient capital of southwest Spain and the center of industry, commerce and culture. Now it is the capital of Andalusian autonomous region and the largest city in southern Spain. Seville is a city that thrives on water and thrives on water. The whole city is divided into two parts by Guadalquivel River which flows through the city. It is the only city in Spain that has an inland river port. The city was founded in 43 BC and was occupied by Romans and Visigoths. 1 1 century, a Moorish tribe established an independent kingdom here. 1248, Fernand III expelled the Moors from the city in the "War of Recovery" and made it the capital, which gradually prospered.
From 65438 to 0492, after Columbus discovered America, Seville once monopolized Spain's overseas trade. The valley near Seville is well-developed in agriculture and animal husbandry, rich in grains, grapes, olive oil, cotton, tobacco and sheep, and it is the processing and distribution center of agricultural products. The Spanish company Torres, the producer of Betis olive oil, is headquartered in Seville. Now, there is another food street named Betis Street on the banks of Gwadar Keevil in Seville, Spain. olive tree
Olive trees are very suitable for growing in the hot and dry Mediterranean climate, and the solid trunk makes them survive tenaciously even in the sinister external environment. Every olive tree has a strong vitality. Olive trees aged 200-300 are very common, and their crowns can be as high as 10 meters.
Olive leaves, slender and dark green, have a special protective layer on the sunny side, which can reflect sunlight and prevent excessive water loss, so olive leaves always shine in the hot sun; On the back of olive leaves, there are many pores invisible to the naked eye to regulate the water demand of leaves.
Mediterranean climate is very suitable for the growth of olive trees. Adequate sunshine, hot summer and warm and rainy winter are the most favorable natural conditions for the growth of olive trees. Among the Mediterranean countries, Spain has the largest number of olive trees planted in the world (more than 300 million plants, more than 2.2 million hectares), far exceeding Greece and Italy, and far exceeding other olive tree planting countries, such as Tunisia, Turkey and Syria. Spring (March to June)
Pay attention to pruning and fertilization, promote the growth of olive branch and get light to facilitate fruit setting and prepare for high yield in the future;
Summer (June to September)
Olive fruit forms and grows in summer. During this period, if there is water shortage, the fruit will be thin and the oil output will be less, but if irrigation is good, the output may double; Summer is also a season of frequent pests and diseases;
Autumn (September-65438+February)
In the mature season of olive fruit, the roots of olive fruit just began to appear reddish brown and turned into mulberry-like purple. With the change of color, the oil content is higher and higher. During this period, if there is not enough water or fertilizer, it will have a great impact on the harvest. Olive fruit is usually picked at the end of September or the beginning of 10 (it may change due to different geographical locations). At this time, the freshness and nutrients of the fruit reach the peak, and these olives must be picked gently one by one to maintain the surface integrity and high quality.
Winter (65438+ February to March)
The whole winter is the picking season of olive fruit, and olive fruit must be picked before it matures naturally. At present, the picking methods are manual picking or mechanical vibrating rod picking.
