Lead Review

• Book: Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil
• Location: Italy, World
• Author: Tom Mueller

A book filled with twists and turns that would shame the best mystery writer, Mueller tells a riveting tale about an age-old staple. He explores both ends of the spectrum – the dark, devious world of adulterated oil that has plagued the industry for centuries and a new host of characters from chemists to chefs who are trying to take extra virgin olive oil to a higher level. (Caroline J Beck The Olive Oil source)

After 256 engrossing pages that go by way too quickly, someone who never contemplated the tin of olive oil on the kitchen counter will know why it has brought out the best, and the worst in people for thousands (yes thousands) of years. Curtis cord, Olive Oil Times
