- - READ Tom Mueller's new book, Extra
Virginity, The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil - Expanding on his New Yorker essay that exposed the deeply corrupt fraud in the olive oil industry, Tom Mueller takes the reader on an extraordinary journey through the history and future of olive oil. He illuminates the economic, symbolic, medicinal, and culinary importance of olive oil in a book that is a must read by anyone interested in cooking and foodways. This page turner elegantly combines investigative reporting with inspiring stories of artisan producers, chefs, retailers and scientists all on the forefront of defending the true meaning of "extra virgin."

UC Davis Report stating that:
Among the findings were that 73 percent of the 134 samples of the five top-selling imported “extra virgin” olive oil brands failed the International Olive Council (IOC) sensory standards based on the results of two IOC-accredited sensory panels. Sensory defects are indicators that these oil samples were oxidized, of poor quality or adulterated with cheaper refined olive oil.
