Description

Tom Mueller's fascinating exploration of the world of olive oil reveals a complex and often scandalous industry.

The production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil is a labor-intensive process that requires centuries-old agricultural wisdom combined with cutting-edge technology. However, this artisanal craft is being threatened by the proliferation of adulterated oils on the market.

Through the stories of various individuals involved in the industry, from family-run businesses to industrial-scale producers, Mueller sheds light on the conflict between traditional methods and modern commercial practices, highlighting the cultural importance and culinary vitality of great olive oil.
