A Very, Very, Very Brief History

The cultivation of olive trees began around 5000 BCE in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Canaanites used olive oil for food, medicine, cosmetics, and religious rituals.

The ancient Greek philosopher Hippocrates referred to olive oil as “the great healer.”

The Romans expanded olive cultivation across their empire, from Spain to North Africa. Olive oil became a major commodity, with amphorae (ceramic vessels) used to store and transport it. Roman baths and cosmetics often featured olive oil.

Olive oil has been a central part of the Mediterranean diet for thousands of years, playing a crucial role in the culture, economy, and cuisine of the region. Its history dates back to ancient civilizations and continues to be a staple in modern Mediterranean life.

Olive Oil is a key ingredient in cuisine of the Med used in salads, cooking, bread dipping and even desserts. It remains a symbol of lengevity and health with numerous documented benefits.

Naturvie

We've been working with Fernando Sanchez Mohino y Arias (what a name) for many many years.

He is generally regarded as one of the best olive oil producers not just in Spain but across all olive growing countries.

Naturvie, the estate in Extremedurra, Spain has been owned by Fernando's family for many generations.  He has breathed new life into the place, planting many new trees of different varieties and experimenting with different styles and blends of oils.
