For millennia, fresh olive oil has been one of life's
necessities-not just as food but also as medicine, a beauty aid,
and a vital element of religious ritual. Today's researchers are
continuing to confirm the remarkable, life-giving properties of
true extra-virgin, and "extra-virgin Italian" has become the
highest standard of quality. But what if this symbol of purity has
become deeply corrupt? Starting with an explosive article in The
New Yorker, Tom Mueller has become the world's expert on olive oil
and olive oil fraud-a story of globalization, deception, and crime
in the food industry from ancient times to the present, and a
powerful indictment of today's lax protections against fake and
even toxic food products in the United States. A rich and
deliciously readable narrative, Extra Virginity is also an
inspiring account of the artisanal producers, chemical analysts,
chefs, and food activists who are defending the extraordinary oils
that truly deserve the name "extra-virgin."
