The term "vegetable oil" is generic--it encompasses all oils derived from plant sources, including olive oil. However, products labeled "vegetable oil" for cooking are typically blends containing canola, palm, soybean, sunflower, safflower, corn or cottonseed oils. Such vegetable oil blends typically have less flavor than olive oil, but they have a higher smoke point, so they are better for frying.

Vegetable oil not from olives, its from edible plants.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil IS a vegetable oil but it is quite expensive and tastes very special. This means that cooks would use the term "vegetable oil" to refer to a cheap cooking oil such as 'Corn Oil', 'Peanut Oil' or 'Maize Oil' and reserve the 'Extra Virgin Olive Oil' for flavoring a finished dish or making a dressing (cooking with it destroys the special taste!). You should never cook with Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Butter is made from milk. I can not be made from olive oil. Olive oil comes from olives and butter comes from a milk of some short (usually from cow's milk).

I think that it is vegetable oils whipped with water and salt and thickeners. Shortening is hydrogenated vegetable oil. You will have more luck substituting butter or lard for your shortening.
