What IS Extra Virgin Olive Oil? How Do We USE It? WHY Is It Good For Us? How Do We Know What We’re Buying Is REALLY What It Says It Is? Extra Virgin Olive Oil Explained is NOT a cook book. There are no recipes for cooking in the Mediterranean style. There are no pizza recipes. This book answers these and many other questions If anything, you could say this book is a celebration of the benefits the lowly little olive showers on those who embrace its many flavors and colors by using it – both internally (by eating it) and externally (by rubbing it on their skin and in their hair). The health giving benefits of olive oil (anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties) are legendary and can be traced back to its earliest uses well before the time of Christ.
