Today's researchers are continuing to confirm the remarkable, life-giving properties of true extra-virgin, and \"extra-virgin Italian\" has become the highest standard of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut what if this symbol of purity has become deeply corrupt? Starting with an explosive article in \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e, Tom Mueller has become the world's expert on olive oil and olive oil fraud — a story of globalization, deception, and crime in the food industry from ancient times to the present, and a powerful indictment of today's lax protections against fake and even toxic food products in the United States.
