In the reign of Nabonidus (556– 539 BCE) a recipe for soap consisted of uhulu [ashes], cypress [oil] and sesame [seed oil] "for washing the stones for the servant girls". A formula for soap consisting of water, alkali, and cassia oil was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC.  Olive oil has been used for generations throughout the mediterranean not only for its healing qualities but also the benefits of olive oil on the skin, body and hair.

Pure olive oils, at the bottom of the scale are a mix of different oils from different farms and are refined, lacking the characteristic punch of the delightful and heady extra virgin grade olive oil.

Greek extra virgin olive oil stands in a class apart for its characteristic pale green-yellow color and a distinguishing taste. This ...
