Why does all the olive oil in the U.S. come from Italy and not Spain?

I'm living in Spain now and enjoying this delicious "oro liquido" on a near-daily basis. It's strange to me that most of the olive oil in the U.S. is imported from Italy and not Spain. Spain is the world's top producer of olive oil, correct? Or one of the top producers, next to Italy and Turkey? I heard a rumor that the Italian mafia has something to do with it and am wondering if there is any truth to this..
Vizu-Bcn: I can assure that most Americans know that Spain is not in South America!! Is that what you meant?

I've read some studies that found the truth behind olive oil imported to the U.S. Sadly, it's not pure olive oil, but a mixture of oils from various plants and regions. This makes me angry. I never want to leave Spain!

the oil sold as "Italian" is actually Spanish
