Special interview with Patricia O'Hara and Richard Blatchly, co-authors (with Zeynep Delen) of The Chemical Story of Olive Oil: From Grove to Table. We talk about the origin and production of olive oil, how to choose a good oil with special attention to reading the label, and the health benefits of regular consumption. Pat and Rich share their stories of traveling the world and getting to the heart of this chemical gem that has been prized by humans for thousands of years.
