a word to our readers:

Reviewing this month’s issue was particularly interesting to me, and not just because I was born in France and still have a small olive orchard there, but because it demonstrates how much common ground exists around the world when it comes to creating olive oil-based products that are good for you.

In preparing for the launch of The Olive Oil Source's new online Boutique this month, we stretched our legs a bit and traveled to many places to find the very best products we could offer. We’ll continue to do so in the future as we expand our line, but one thing we have already learned – it won’t be hard to do with an industry so dedicated to living up to its highest standards. To all of you out there who are working hard to make that happen, thanks for making our job a little easier.
