In 2004, America brought in 246,000 metric tons of olive oil, and nearly half of that was extra virgin, according to Bob Bauer, president of the Neptune, N.J.-based North American Olive Oil Association (search).
"People just found out about olive oil," he said. "They used to think it was just for fancy events or special foods, and people are finding out it’s for every day. Once you try it, it’s hard to go back, because it tastes good and it’s good for you, too."
