Greece

Greece is Europe’s third-largest olive oil-producing nation, with olive groves featuring prominently in the country’s mountainous islands and peninsulas as well as in the rolling plains of the mainland. The Aegean island of Crete is the largest producing region, responsible for about one-third of the country's olive oil output. The Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece is the main producing region on the mainland. However, olives grow across the Greek mainland and its hundreds of inhabited islands. Greece is renowned for its diverse olive varieties. The most common are Koroneiki and Kalamata. However, Lianelia, Makri, Manaki, Olympia and Tsounati olives are also widely grown.
