Sažetak
Since the dawn of the civilisations that olive has been playing a critical role on both the society and the economy. Indeed, one can argue that olive, and olive oil, were as critical as they shaped a form of culture, a seminal pillar that supported the Mediterranean civilisations and that has since then spread worldwide, influencing others. Taking into consideration this framework, the research presented in this paper is focused on the examination of the main trends on olive and olive oil in the Iberian Peninsula, from production to retail and consumption, by analysing several datasets covering recent decades. Ultimately, this research intends to examine whether olive oil production is effectively thriving in spite of the sector efforts, as the challenges being faced cannot be disregarded as well. In terms of findings for more recent years, it was possible to conclude that despite the increasing recognition of the benefits of olive and olive oil by the society, and despite the increase in olive production, the consumption of olive oil has been decreasing internally, being replaced by increases in exports. This is most probably due to the economic conditions that have deteriorated due to the 2008’s financial crisis, which, together with an increase in olive oil prices, has prevented a considerable portion of the population to have financial conditions to access to the consumption of such an important component of the Mediterranean diet
