Title: Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil
Author: Tom Mueller
Publisher: W. W. Norton
Year: 2011
238 pages
A very enjoyable natural and political history of olive oil. It has inspired me to spring for a can of Merula and begin to sample oils at a local specialty store.
On the down side, the audiobook reader is not up to par. He mispronounces words like "cuneiform" and engages in sporadic yet really annoying voice characterizations. The last hour or so of the audio is the glossary and website list being read aloud. Attach it as a PDF and be done. Please.
