In agriculture, olive oil is an oil extracted from the fruit of the European olive tree (Olea europaea L.), which originated in the Mediterranean area. It is used in cooking, cosmetics, and soaps. It is also used by Eastern Orthodox Christians as a fuel for their traditional oil lamps. Olive oil is regarded as a healthful dietary oil because of its high content of monounsaturated fat.
