Products Description

Olive oil is a kind of vegetable oil derived from fresh olive fruits through cold pressing without heating or chemical treatment. It retains the natural nutrients. Olive oil is regarded as the most suitable oil for human nutrition among all the oils discovered so far.
Olive oil and olive pomace oil have a history of several thousand years in Mediterranean coastal countries. They are known as "liquid gold", "queen of vegetable oils", and "Mediterranean nectar" in the West. The reason lies in their excellent natural health benefits, beauty effects, and ideal cooking applications. Premium edible olive oil is extracted from fresh or mature olive fruits through a physical cold pressing process, and the remaining residue is extracted as olive pomace oil through chemical methods. It is one of the wood-based vegetable oils that can be consumed by humans in their natural state.

The olive tree is a well-known tree species with a long history in the world. The Mediterranean coast has the most suitable soil, temperature, sunlight, air humidity, and precipitation conditions for olive growth. Apart from the Mediterranean coast, other regions can only have scattered cultivation in the suitable areas. The olive tree is a long-lived tree. It starts to bear fruit 4 to 5 years after planting, and the fruit-bearing period can last for 50 to 100 years. The fruit is a drupe, and its shape is very similar to that of Chinese dates.
From March to June each year, it is the time for the olive trees to flower and bear fruit. From July to October, the fruits begin to develop and mature. The fruits change from green to red, purple, and finally black. From November to the following February is the harvest season for the fruits. The physical characteristics of the olive fruit and the chemical composition of the fruit flesh vary due to different varieties, maturity, geographical environment, soil texture, and planting methods.
