The history of the Italian extra virgin olive oil is unique and unbelievable: it has been part of the Italian and Mediterranean culture of food since ever – every family has at least a bottle of oil at home and it is sold everywhere. You can buy it at the little shop close to home, online, at the market, in supermarkets, from purchasing groups, at gourmet shops, directly from the producer, from a friend…
Even if it seems like a familiar and well-known product, still people who buy extra virgin olive oil often do not know it.
