The word "azeite", means olive oil in Portuguese and comes from the Arabs which left a great legacy in a peaceful Portugal. In Arabic the word "Al-zait" means "olive juice".
During the XVth to the XVIth centuries, a great expansion on farming olive trees took place in Portugal. This Western European country was known for its huge production of olive oil.
The characteristics of this fruit in Portugal vary a lot according to the region where it grows, mainly due to weather conditions and the growing of different species of olive trees.
The world production of olive oil is concentrated in the Mediterranean region and is responsible for around 95% of the olive oil production. It takes advantages of its climate conditions with a lot of sunlight and a dry weather, suitable to cultivate this fruit, the olive.
