You can use exact same line for "Butter Europe/ Olive oil Europe" It was one of the many reasons for rise of Protestant movements because the Vatican wanted to classify butter as an indulgence, because olive oil was used for all the oils where they were. Butter was seen as gross and a sin.

Other traditional historical culinary divisions of Europe are beer/wine and white bread/dark bread (or wheat/rye).
