Appreciated since Antiquity,  olive oil is regarded as an art, just like wine.  This book offers a tour of Europe of the most beautiful olive-growing estates. Italians, Spaniards, Greeks, French, and Portuguese owners have skillfully combined modern techniques with carefully selecting the varieties. This explains the diversity of textures, colours and suave or fruity fragrances with a round taste, fresh or extended in the mouth, of great finesse or intense rusticity, sometimes enhanced with a note of citrus or green grass. Thirty recipes and thematic pages (varieties, techniques, production, appellations, tasting vocabulary, etc.) usefully complete the estates' discovery.
