Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Truth in Your Kitchen

By: David M. Neuman

Narrated by: Bill Lord

Properly labeled and exquisitely made Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is one of life’s greatest delights. With its great taste and health benefits, high quality olive oil empowers habitual consumers to have a higher-standard of culinary experience. Their newfound tasting expertise will allow them to find, procure, and enjoy many brands worldwide—like fine wine, an array of oils to suit their palate.

In Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The Truth in Your Kitchen, David Neuman documents his experiences with highly acclaimed olive oil producers who care about the oil they produce. Listeners will be shocked at how egregiously certain producers behave with their oil production. Neuman’s writing sheds light on the true intentions behind many olive oil competitions and food-industry award shows, making money off olive oil producers who want to use their award for marketing. And who loses at the end? The consumer, who trusts a hangar on a bottle that says “#1 Olive Oil”.

Author and food connoisseur David Neuman has written Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The Truth In Your Kitchen to be a well-rounded, simplified, solution-based resource for the consumer. Neuman hopes to educate consumers in a food category that is greatly whitewashed, offering an alternative to the shopping fatigue of endless options and trendy alternatives. He claims that if the consumer focuses on bringing an exceptional bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) into their home, they will have all they need to cook, bake, and live a healthy lifestyle.

nice look into the industry and truth behind the bottle in your cupboard

i was pleased to finally hear someone say what I've always believed to be true: the people at chain stores making the decisions on what to buy -- especially when it comes to olive oil -- are profoundly clueless. it's a testament to our national ignorance that the world works in such a way as for that status quo to perpetually exist without really outraging anyone. Alas. I'd like to have heard a bit more about what regions produce good oil -- the stuff labeled as coming from Italy is predominantly garbage, so can we turn somewhere else? california? tunisia? greece? the writer says he expects his audience to be lay people when it comes to olive oil. I wanted to hear more for the more-seasoned listener. the performance loses a star because the reader pronounced broccoli rabe as "broccoli rah-bay." he must have been a clueless buyer for a supermarket chain in a previous life.

Encouraging and insightful.

Loved the book. I'm enthused about olive oil and appreciate new information. Wish it was longer.

Educational

The author clearly has a strong passion about olive oil and he shares his knowledge and experience. Really good introduction to that world. The narrator was excellent as well. If you want to learn about how to purchase olive oil without getting scammed, give it a read.
