The History of Olive Oil

چکیده
“The whole Mediterranean, the sculpture, the palm, the gold beads, the bearded heroes, the wine, the ideas, the shops, the moonlight, the winged gorgons, the bronze men, the philosophers,all of it seems to rise in the sour, pungent taste of these black olives between the teeth. A taste older than meat, older than wine. A taste as old as cold water. Only the sea itself seems as ancient a part of the region as the olive and its oil, that like no other products of Nature, have shaped civilizations from remotest antiquity to the present.” Laurence Durrell, Prospero’s Cell, 1945
