“Vivacious,
beautiful Carol Firenze may be the best advertisement for
her own charming and clearly written reference book packed
with history and how-to information. Dr. Firenze recounts
history as shaped by the fascinating olive rather than the
other way around. It's early uses in Mediterranean health
aids and as an ingredient in food preparation are secondary
to olive oil's role in ancient religious rituals, myth and
as an influence to world commerce. Her lecture was absolutely
delightful.”
—Gerry Furth-Sides,
