Oil, olive

Edible oil pressed from the flesh of the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea). Most values are derived from oils produced in Spain or Italy and imported to Australia. Includes various grades of olive oil, such as ‘pure’ and ‘extra virgin’.

Vitamins E and D, minerals and fatty acids were derived from analysis of 2 composite samples of 4 brands of olive oil (Olive Tree, Always Fresh, Coles Extra Virgin & Woolworth's Home Brand) purchased in supermarkets in SA, VIC, NSW and WA in 2008 (2008 KFP). Proximates, some vitamins and minerals were also derived from a composite sample of 6 brands of pure olive oil (Vetta, Giralda, Dante, (all products of Spain) and Bertoli, Olio Sasso and Lupi, (all products of Italy)), purchased in Adelaide in 1990. Values for protein, vit C, galactose, fibre, starch, cholesterol and retinol were imputed 0. Heavy metals were for samples purchased nationally as part of the 1994 Total Diet Study.
