The concept of the Mediterranean cuisine as we know it today is relatively new. This healthy cuisine has its roots in the olive growing eastern coastal regions of the Mediterranean Sea; Greece, Turkey and Lebanon, and Middle-eastern and north African regions. This type of cooking with shared characteristics has been developed mainly throughout the late 19th and early 20th century territories of the now defunct Ottoman Empire. Today, the common distinctions of Mediterranean cuisine make this type of cooking popular and well accepted across the world.

The best known and most popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine is the olive oil which is produced in abundance in this region and exported worldwide. Unsurprisingly, the people of the eastern Mediterranean region consume the highest amount of olive oil in the world. Olive trees produce the bitter fruit that is ideal for making the healthiest and most delicious olive oils for cooking. Olive oil works great as a dressing in all kinds of foods, adding a bold and distinct flavor to everything from appetizers and salads to pasta and other main dishes. Olive oil is free of unhealthy trans fats and full of flavor. Please note that Southern California has also excellent olives. https://www.myketopal.com/post/olives-of-san-jacinto-valley
