Flavors of Olive Oil : A Tasting Guide and Cookbook
2003 James Beard Award Winner - Single Subject Category;
In The Flavors of Olive Oil, Deborah Krasner demystifies the world of olive
oil. Olives-just like wine grapes-respond directly to variations in climate,
soil, cultivation, and harvest, so each oil is unique. By classifying olive
oil in four distinct groups (delicate and mild, fruity and fragrant, olivey
and peppery, and leafy-green and grassy), Krasner guides readers through
the different characteristics of more than 150 different olive oils, providing
a step-by-step tasting guide to the flavors and aromas of each one. With
notes on oils from Italy to Morocco to California, Krasner transports the
reader to olive-oil-producing regions around the world.
