VAlorising extra virgin olive oil
LA VIA DELL'OLIO - a journey of discovery of extravirgin olive oil's new identity.
LA VIA DELL’OLIO, published by Edizioni Fratelli Alinari in Florence, is a journey through which Massimo Epifani guides the reader in the world of extra virgin olive oil.
LA VIA DELL’OLIO is the result of Massimo Epifani long experience as lecturer and expert in the agroindustrial field. Epifani has used his experience as "oil educator" to create a text that covers extra virgin olive oil from an agricultural, sensorial, nutritional and promotional point of view.
The book is directed at technical and non-technical courses on sensorial evaluation - it has been listed, in fact, among the Scuola Nazionale dell’Alimentazione text books – but it's also an excellent read for restaurant managers, producers, and whoever wants to learn about extra virgin oilve oil and understand sensorial analysis in order to make an aware choice of purchase.
The volume isn't, therefore, a "simple" textbook: it is a reading of great interest, capable of enriching the reader interested in food and wine culture, for profession or pure pleasure, through a journey which goes through sensorial analysis and the positive influences of olive oil to our health, to the heritage of Italian olive varieties (cultivar) and to suggestions for the developlment of our agroindustrial sector.
In the words of Antonio Ricci
Antonio Ricci, scientific director of Il Sole 24 Ore's Olivo e Olio, said of Massimo Epifani "with LA VIA DELL'OLIO he offers to the attention and the reflection of the reader, the various fases which comprise the production process of olive oil, without limiting his work of author and expert to the sole illustration of facts, but most of all, "educating" the consumer through elements necessary to be able to evaluate and choose a product on the basis of quality and typicity cryteria”.
