Magazine F is a food documentary magazine co-created by Magazine B and Baemin, which introduces one particular ingredient that has had a significant impact on people’s table. Baemin has become a critical mover and shaker in South Korean contemporary food culture, and B provides a balanced view on brands through multi-layered stories. This collaboration brings together these two areas of expertise in F, which is hoped to become a record of essential ingredients and food culture of our time.

Cultivated for thousands of years, the fruit of the olive tree has had a profound influence on human food culture. The olive is known as being a perfect source of oleate and a great supply of high-quality energy. But beyond its nutritional value, the fruit is seen as a sacred symbol of abundance and peace thanks to its unique ability to thrive in harsh environments. Mediterranean countries-like Greece, Italy, Spain, and Algeria-collectively produce more than two thousand types of olives, and the “liquid gold” oil that is pressed from the fruit plays a key role in the Mediterranean diet. Extra virgin olive oil, in particular, has become a staple on tables across the world and is the only food ingredient for which an official certification evaluation method exists.
