Characterized by a high level of oleic acid, Olive oil is a very popular vegetable oil derived from the fruit of the olive tree (oleo europaea). Olive oil is an important component of the Mediterranean diet and commercial production is concentrated almost exclusively in Mediterranen countries. The highest grade of olive oil (extra virgin) is obtained from the first pressing of the olive. The virgin oil contains a variety of anti-oxidants as well as an unusually high level of squalene.
