The aim of this paper was to identify and describe segments of a study population that consumes olive oil. Therefore, a survey was conducted in 2019 on a sample of 705 German and 175 UK consumers. In both samples, three consumer segments were identified. These three segments differed significantly with regard to purchase and consumption patterns, as well as attitudes toward the extrinsic, intrinsic, sensorial, and health attributes of olive oil. Their main preferences related to health properties of olive oil, followed by hedonic attributes; therefore, these aspects should be marketed in German markets. For UK consumers, validation of extrinsic attributes, such as region, micro-location, and protected designation of geographical origin (PDO), should be used in marketing campaigns in light of economic sustainability on local family farms and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Since UK consumers rely heavily on vendors’ recommendations, more effort should be made in the UK market to establish habits of consumption and an olive oil culture that would be sustainable in long-term time frames.
Olive oil has been consumed since ancient times and appreciated as a source of nutritious fats and as medical remedy, in addition to being praised in ceremonies. Today, when health is one of the top priorities of humankind, we examined what consumers believe and value about olive oil, which is generally considered a healthy product. Our survey examined the associations between the hedonic and health properties of olive oil, the motives important for olive oil consumption, and how these are influenced by healthy behaviour. There was clear evidence of the importance of culture, tradition, pleasure, olive oil health benefits, and healthy behaviour. There was a strong association between healthy behaviour and olive oil benefit perceptions and motives for olive oil consumption, with the olive oil benefits associated with the motives to consume olive oil.

Starting from traditional economical views, consumers' behavior during purchase is based on maximizing usage and minimizing costs for a person. Food as a basic need of each person is a necessity highly ranked comparing to other needs, therefore, it is satisfied first (Maslovljev acc. to Foxall et al. 2007). Maslowljev theory explains the difference between what we can call a physical/inherited need and the learned need which a person gains through social interactions.Taking in mind these facts, a consumer who buys food wants to maximize the use and minimize costs (Myung et al. 2008).generally speaking, the process of making a decision about purchase has five phases: a consumer passes focusing to a problem; search for information; seeking alternatives; decision about the purchase and post-purchase reactions. Depending on the level of complication in this process, the consumer might Abstract: Due to the consumers concern about their health and the rise of their ecological consciousness, demand for organic food is generally increasing.
