Olive Oil

Growing awareness of the health benefits of olive oil and the increasing popularity of the Mediterranean style diet have contributed to the growth in demand for olive oil in recent years. Olive oil is a prescription for health with its wide variety of valuable antioxidants helping to protect against certain malignant tumours, lower the effects on blood pressure, bolster the immune system and lower levels of total blood cholesterol. Consumption of olive oil is also good for the stomach, hepato-bilary system, pancreas, and intestines. It helps with anti-aging, osteoporosis, cognitive function and skin damage.

 

Olive oil has a wide variety of uses mainly used for cooking. It is now increasingly being used for flavoured oil dipping for bread, flavouring for salads, olive oil sprays and cosmetics. World consumption of olive oil continues moving upwards with a growing trend towards the consumption of extra virgin olive oil.

Olive Oil Industry

Olive oil consumption is growing strongly around the world, with olive oil supply generally not being able to keep up with consumption. With Australia’s outstanding global reputation in food and agriculture and Mediterranean-style climatic conditions, Australia is gradually positioning itself to become a major global olive oil supplier.

Olive oil imports continue to dominate the supply of olive oil to Australian consumers, with imports in 2004 totaling over 90% of consumption. However, domestic demand for Australian-produced extra virgin olive oil is growing rapidly through increasing consumer acceptance of Australian manufactured oils and the increasing supply allows for greater access for consumers.
