Olive oil is an essential element within the Mediterranean diet, as it is a flagship product in Spanish gastronomy.
The flavor, benefits and versatility of olive oil turn this liquid gold into an increasingly demanded product not only inside Spain, but also around the world. The export of olive oil keeps growing regardless of the variety, format and designation of origin. What we know for sure is that Spanish olive oil keeps finding its way into the homes of millions of people around the world.
Selling olive oil outside Spain
Spain is one of the main exporters of olive oil both inside and outside the European Union, and the record of exports, which is now 1,100,000 tons (exported during the 2013-2014 season) is expected to be surpassed this year.
The range of olive oil companies that decide to launch this Spanish flagship product into the international market keeps growing: from projects based on regional products to small e-commerces within the gourmet sector, parcels containing this precious liquid gold are shipped every day.
