Requests:  0 Summary:  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, the author 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. It is also an account of the artisanal producers, chemical analysts, chefs, and food activists who are defending the extraordinary oils that truly deserve the name "extra-virgin."   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 664.362 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 664.362 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 664.362 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 664.362 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 664.362 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
