Spain is the largest producer of olive oil in the EU and worldwide: from 2015/16 to 2017/18, on average, it made up for 63% of the entire EU production, with a total of 2,412,746 hectares of its territory (mostly located in the southern regions) used for the cultivation of olive trees. In Spain, over the past 3 years, the average annual production has reached 1.3 million tons of olive oil per year. Together with Italy, Spain is also one of the major consumers of olive oil in the world, with an annual consumption of around 500,000 tons of olive oil per year. Not only quantity but also quality – thanks to the continuous study on new machinery and production strategies, the research for the best compromise between quality and quantity goes on. Spain ranks second in the world after Italy in number of PDOs and PGIs (32), with most of them (13) being manufactured in Andalusia.
