Why I wrote this book
I created this for people who want to learn how to buy a good olive oil with confidence, but feel confused with the many different designations, the wide range of prices and the news on adulterated oils.
This is a simple guide to understanding what makes an olive oil better and how to identify and taste it so you never get it wrong.
We can't rely on government bodies to certify the quality and authenticity of all the oils that are currently imported into our country. What is available on the market today reflects the lack of knowledge most of us have about olive oil.
I strongly believe that as consumers, we have the power to change this. I hope that the infor- mation presented in this book is a step towards uplifting the quality for everyone's benefit.
Enjoy your read!
