Olive oil has a history of thousands of years and is known as the queen of liquid gold and vegetable oil, only because it has excellent natural, health and beauty effects and ideal cooking purposes. Edible high-grade olive oil is the only woody plant oil in the world that can be eaten by human beings in a natural state. Greek olive oil will also be mixed with lemon, orange, garlic and ginger to make various flavors, because Greeks use it to mix salads or eat it raw with bread.
