Olive Oil Companion

Unfortunately the book has a very strong musty smell. I’ve placed it outside in the hot sun but the smell remains. The book is what I was looking for but difficult to use because of the odor. I would appreciate any suggestions for getting rid of the smell or if you have another copy I’ll send this back. Thank you for your response.

A Toast to Olive Oil

The perfect addition to my Companion Book collection - it fits nicely next to my Red Wine and White Wine Companion Books - add my Chocolate Companion Book - and I am surrounded by all the finer things!!! But in all seriousness - if you are interested in being a Connoisseur of Olive Oil - this is the book for you!!!

Excellent catalogue of available main olive oil brands

Well presented with excellent illustrations and fair evaluation of different oils. I liked the idea of including every regional recipe next to the corresponding oil. Historical background good. A must for mediterranean food lovers
