A bonus is the section on understanding the label on buying Extra Virgin olive oil. Another section deals with different categories of olive oil and yet another offers readers some suggestions on the use of olive oil in the kitchen.There is a quiz on olive oil. And for those hungering for more, there is a comprehensive glossary of terms as used by the experts on olive oil production and analytics.

The best book on olive oil I have read, written well and simply but with enormous enthusiasm by it's authors. This book contains everything you need to know about olive oil. Any claims about the powers of olive oil are backed up by research from health professionals. The research sits side by side with great recipes - I must try the Tomatoes Provencal - and cosmetic uses. Great recipes for vegetarians and some of the suggestions for health eating are simple and will definitely be trying them. Thank you Alice and Cecile
