Spanish Olive Oil
Olive Oil is one of the most representative
products exported by Spain. This represents a
strong source of incomes for this European
country. Spain is the first producer of Olive Oil
worldwide, as the yearly average production
reaches

from

700,000

to

800,000

tons;

although recent estimates put the figures up to
1,000,000 tons. Over 250 million olive trees
covering an area of

2 million hectares do

represent more than 25% of the world’s olive
groves.
In Spain, the quality of the olive oil is controlled
by six main denominations of origin. The production of this high quality Olive Oil begins
with collecting the olives from the trees, pressing them and ends with the packaging
process. Quality, though, starts in the land, in the olive trees, which, in combination
with the soil, climate, farming techniques, transport, storage, as well as many other
processes that take part in the production of oil, do lead to a product that has been
described in many scientific studies as the promoter of a healthy status.
