The Northern Hemisphere produces 90 percent of the global olive oil. Its Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, provides an ideal environment for olive trees to flourish. Harvesting in the Northern Hemisphere typically occurs from late October through December. Olive oil production sustains a centuries-old agricultural tradition and supports a significant economic sector in these regions, encompassing small family farms to large-scale commercial operations.
