Spain

This is a question many people would like to know. Just where does the best olive oil in the world come from? Well, I hate to tell you, but there is no clear answer.

The real answer is as varied as the people who consume olive oil. This is simply because everyone has different taste. Perhaps you love the rich, full flavored olive oils from the Tuscan region while your friend loves the fruity olive oils from Spain. Reading the latest gourmet olive oil reviews may give you some insight on which ones to try next, but in the end, you’ll have to be the judge.

You see, when judging olive oil in this way, there can be no one clear winner.

One area that is making a splash in the olive oil industry is California. This state has been producing some mighty fine olive oil over the years and they continue to get better and better.

To determine which area produces the best olive oil for your taste, you’re going to have to sample many different oils from that region. One of the easiest ways to do this, and the funnest, is to buy small bottles of oil from several different producers. Not all growers sell their oil in a small bottle, but many do.

You may even want to have a gourmet olive oil sampling party at your home. The way you do this is to have your friends purchase these small bottles of olive oil from their favorite regions. Once everyone has their oil, then a time and date is set up for the sampling. This can be great fun and you may even discover an olive oil that you prefer over your favorite brand.

It’s also an excellent way for people to find out which region of the world produces their favorite flavor of olive oil. Who knows, you may discover you like olive oil from many different places for many different occasions!
