    liquid fat extracted from olives, often used in cooking

    Olive oil is a liquid fat obtained from olives, a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin. It is commonly used in cooking, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soaps, and can be categorized into various grades such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), which is the highest quality and least processed form, retaining more of the olive's natural flavors and nutrients.
