The best oils are made by authentic artist-craftsmen, who marry
centuries-old agricultural wisdom with cutting-edge extraction
technology, and now produce the finest oils in history. However,
these producers are being steadily driven from the market:
extra-virgin olive oil is difficult and expensive to make, yet
alarmingly easy to adulterate. Skilled oil criminals are flooding
the market with low-cost, faux extra-virgins, reaping rich profits
and undercutting honest producers, whilst authorities in Italy, the
US and elsewhere turn a blind eye. From the feisty pugliese woman
of sixty struggling to keep the family business afloat to her
industrialist neighbour who has allegedly grown wealthy on
counterfeit oil, to Benedictine monks in Western Australia and
poker-playing agriculture barons in northern California who make
this ancient foodstuff in New World ways, Mueller distils the
passions and life stories of oil producers, and explores the
conflict, culinary vitality and cultural importance of great olive
oil.
