What Is Olive Oil?
Olive oil is a liquid fat obtained from olives produced by pressing whole olives and extracting the oil. The composition of olive oil varies with lots of different things, but it's mostly made up of oleic acid. Olive oil was one of the main staples of cooking and life in the Mediterranean region. In other words, what I think the biblical authors want us to see in this anointing oil is the life of Eden condensed into a little dense liquid.
