Olive Oil

Olive Oil has a very long history.

Throughout the various civilisations, the olive tree and olive oil have occupied pivotal positions in the agricultural economy of Mediterranean countries. 

The Minoans of Crete were among the first cultures to achieve prosperity on olive oil, and Crete continues to be an important olive production area to the present day.

Olive Oil came to Japan in 1908, Still, Shōdoshima is famous for it's home grown olive oil.

Olive oil was common in ancient Greek and Roman cuisine. But now, it's used around the world.

If you go to Italian restaurant, you are definitely going to eat this oil. It is really popular.

My mother sometimes uses olive oil and make "Somen with Olive Oil". It tastes like Italian Somen, and I liked it.

However, in my opinion, the sesame oil is more common in Japan.
