July HIghlights: Closing in on the Book Submission Deadline

We are both happy and frenetic in our efforts to submit our final manuscript to The Royal Society of Chemistry for "The Chemical Story of Olive Oil: From Grove to Table" by July 31.

In an attempt to fill the giant gap in our knowledge about California olive oil producers and meet the good people at the UC Davis Olive Oil Center, we spent 14 days in June taking the Olive Center's Sensory Analysis Course and visiting a random sampling of 10 different groves and producers from the Mega producers such as California Olive Ranch and boutique producers such as Grumpy Goats and everything in between.

Reproduced below to whet your whistle:  The book cover for our soon to be released masterpiece, by the way, Rich took the cover art photograph in Turkey.  Let us know if you want to get an alert when the book is available.
