Olive Resources

Here are the best olive and olive oil websites that we know of:

• The California Olive Oil Council (COOC) - The authoritive resource for olive oil production and certification in California.
• The Olive University - A beautifully designed information resource for the olive oil consumer.  We liked their Recipe Section and Health Benefits Section.
• The Olive Oil Source - As the name suggests, this has everything for the consumer, grower, and interested hobbyist alike.  We liked their Top Ten Factors in Producing Quality Olive Oil and Olive and Olive Oil Recipes.

To Your Health

Because of olive oil's health benefits, its value is recognized throughout the world.  Holistic health practitioners are using it for botanicals, tonics and tinctures.  The cosmetic industry uses it as a base for soaps, salves and skin creams. With the amount of vitamins and antioxidants (known for their anti-aging effects on the human organism) in olive oil, people who use it to its fullest food, medicinal, and hygeinic potential will be living longer and healthier lives, and there are more studies every day to support this claim.
