Answer 1

Really, a Google search could have gotten you the answer quickly and easily.

But it wouldn't have shown you this:

Really cool. I could have easily given the answer because it's from my part of Spain. - Daniela2041, Nov 12, 2015

Yes, you could have, no problem, but people need to learn to do a little research on their own too. :) - rac1, Nov 12, 2015

Answer 2

The 95% of the olive oil produced in Spain comes from the province of Jaen (Andalucia). In Andalucia is also common to see olive tree fields in the provinces of: Cordoba, Sevilla, Malaga and Granada.

In others areas in Spain, as Cataluña or Aragón, the people used to have small olive tree fields (in Jaen the fields are huge). But now they have improved their bussiness models as "gourmet olive oil" for foreign people. For me, born and brought up in Andalucia, this "gourmet olive oil" is just a scam for not Spanish people. In fact, they sell 99% of their production to Europe and US.

Besides, most of the Italian oil that you can buy in the US is not from Italy. It is farmed and produced in Jaen, but the Italians (always smarter than Spanish people) buy it, put their own labels and sell it as Italian oil.

If anybody wants to know anything else about the olive oil, please, ask me.

Born and brought up ..farmED. ... Please ASK me. Nice post - Mardle, Nov 12, 2015
