What do Debbie Travis and Tommy Smythe have in common outside of decorating? They love enjoying delicious food in great company, especially with a drizzle of the perfect olive oil. On this episode, Debbie tells Tommy about harvest season in Tuscany, walking him through the process from garden to press and bottling to shipping. Debbie and Tommy also go through the do's and dont's when shopping for olive oil in your town or city; some of the products on grocery store shelves are actually quite dangerous. Debbie has all the warnings and a story about a Toronto restaurant that banned her from visiting after she called them out for their olive oil, oh the drama! In this episode, Debbie mentions Tom Mueller's book: Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil . Tommy mentions his new favourite Michelin-recognized restaurant and their to-die-for Olive Oil Cake, Gia Restaurant. And finally, because Tommy admits that his blood-olive-oil-level is pretty high, he approves this shameless plug of her Tuscan, Certified Organic, Extra Virgin, Cold Pressed Olive Oil.

Olive oil is not what you think it is. According to Tom Mueller, author of Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, an olive is a stone fruit like a plum or cherry—meaning that the green-gold liquid we extract from it "is, quite literally, fruit juice." And, while we're blowing your minds, have you ever stopped to wonder what "extra virgin" means? "It's like extra dead or semi-pregnant," Mueller said. "I mean, it doesn't make any sense at all." This episode we visit two groves—one in the Old World, one in the New—to get to the bottom of olive oil's many mysteries. Listen in this episode as we find out why the ancient Romans rubbed it all over their bodies, and whether the olive oil on our kitchen counters really is what it says on the label.

Olive oil is not what you think it is. According to Tom Mueller, author of Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, an olive is a stone fruit like a plum or cherry—meaning that the green-gold liquid we extract from it “is, quite literally, fruit juice.” And, while we’re blowing your minds, have you ever stopped to wonder what “Extra Virgin” means? “It’s like extra dead or semi-pregnant,” Mueller said. “I mean, it doesn’t make any sense at all.” This episode we visit two groves—one in the Old World, one in the New—to get to the bottom of olive oil’s many mysteries. Listen in this episode as we find out why the ancient Romans rubbed it all over their bodies, and whether the olive oil on our kitchen counters really is what it says on the label.
With his groundbreaking article in The New Yorker and then a highly acclaimed book Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, author Tom Mueller has more than anyone else exposed the dark side of the olive oil business and the need for change. And not much has -- with allegations of corruption and fraud in today’s headlines continuing to turn people away confused and distrustful. We spoke with Tom at his home in Liguria.
