a word to our readers:
Where did the year go? Despite reports from around the state of a very limited harvest, we still witnessed a lot of forward momentum in the industry in 2011. Every year at this time, new customers come calling, interested in learning more about this wonderful, healthy product. It makes us appreciate the effort that all of us are making to spread the word about authentic olive oils: how to tell the difference between high-quality and imposters, why olive oil is so important to a healthy lifestyle, and new creative ways to increase usage.
We wish you the happiest of holidays and best of health in the New Year.
