Olive oil is not "any" oil...

Olive oil is practically a juice of olives; has many necessary and useful ingredients for human body and mind.
It is the first edible oil in human history and has taken spritual and religious meanings in ancient times. Olive oil is precious as a medicine for people and its wide use known since the beginning of humans become civilized.
Were you know the oldest olive leave traces dated back to 39000 years BC? Unfortunately we don't know who made first olive harvest/process in history...
But we know the important thing, the most significant traces of first known olive oil production pointing to Aegan sea coast of Anatolia, known as Asia Minor ("Aegean district" of modern Turkiye).
Its technical history goes 8000 years BC and wild olives collected by Neolithic people. Then until around 1500 years BC, eastern coasts of Aegean sea (Ege bolgesi/Anatolia) were most cultivated areas.
Then in known history, Crete island become important in its trade at Minoan period and some olive oil amphoras found surrounding seas. Through Phonecians (an ancient civilization) olive trees were spreaded around Mediterranean... Besides being used as food, olive oil used as medicine, religious ritual material, lamp oil, skin care material or soap to be clean. Even was used as a birth control ingredient/medicine in Aristotle period... So, in Anolive we are proud of being a part of such precious and old food, and especially based in its ancient birth lands.
