OLIVE OIL: 6000 YEARS OF HISTORY

Since antiquity, the olive tree is considered a symbol of peace and wisdom. Its culture began in Asia Minor, 6000 years before Christ. Already at the time, Syrians, Egyptians, Palestinians, Greeks or Romans were convinced of its therapeutic properties:

Its flavor and its health benefits make it the second most consumed oil by the French (after sunflower oil), with an average of 1.4 liters per year and per capita.

THE 5 BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL
