I mean if you could make olive oil cheaper in America wouldn't someone have done that by now?

The US never lacked for smart entrepreneurs looking for a business opportunity. See wine.

Most likely the answer in many such examples is it needs cheap human labor. US seldom lacks anything in terms of natural resources and always comes down to this.

In Italy it is not Italians who work in agriculture they also have (illegal) migrants.
