Dr. Stanway writes a concise volume on the virtues of olive oil. There is a lot of information about the benefits of olive oil and many practical tips for it's use. Included is information on how the olives are grown and processed and lists of the nutritional properties of olive oil.There is a section listing various ailments and the proper olive oil remedy and a section of beauty tips. Stanway includes a section on how to choose and use olive oil and I was amazed at the amount of adulteration of the product that goes on in the industry.
She also talks about storage and preservation of olive oil and how easily it can go rancid. For example, choosing olive oil sold in dark bottles, as light causes it to lose it's potency. Included is a section of recipes for everything from salad dressing to olive bread. Being a lover and user of olive oil myself I found the book very useful and informative and I liked the recipes.
