Extravirgin olive oil has always been rich with great symbolic values: in ancient Greece the one who damaged olive trees was sent on a trial by jury. athletes of the Olympic games were used to greasing their bodies before games. In the east it was considered a a symbol of light, because lamps were fed with oil. In the religious tradition we can't forget the dove which brings Noah a branch of olive . The cross of Jesus Christ was made of an olive tree, Mount of the olives and the garden of Jetsemani . Still today in every church the greasing with olive oil is used to bless ill people.
