Editorial Reviews:

For more than four thousand years, the olive tree has been a symbol of abundance, peace, and longevity. Gifted by a goddess, revered by ancient cultures, and protected by emperors, the olive tree and its precious fruit have played important roles in civilization.

Dubbed ?liquid gold? by Homer, olive oil has been used for food, medicine, magic, beauty, and divine rituals. Baseball star Joe DiMaggio is even said to have soaked his bat in olive oil. And while it is no longer drawn upon to treat leprosy or massage elephants, the use of this versatile product is growing by leaps and bounds around the world.

The Passionate Olive is the ultimate guide to this natural marvel. Along with olive legends and fascinating history, Carol Firenze shares the myriad practical uses of olive oil through the telling of her favorite family stories and by offering unique formulas and recipes.

Restore luster to your pearls . . . curb your cat?s hair-ball problems . . . silence squeaky doors hinges . . . soothe your sore throat and dry lips . . . replace artery-clogging butter in your favorite dishes with . . . can you guess?

The Passionate Olive reveals the secrets of how to enhance your life, love, and health with olive oil and merits a front-and-center spot among your most cherished books. It makes a beautiful gift, too, for just about everyone and every occasion. In fact, you and your friends will want to keep The Passionate Olive and a bottle of olive oil in your kitchen, your bathroom, and even your bedroom.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting and Useful

I enjoyed this book very much. Olive oil has always been a staple in my diet. As a result of reading this book I have added olive oil to my skin care regimen.

5 out of 5 stars I love this book

I bought five copies of this book for Christmas gifts. My family grows olives for olive oil, and this book is a perfect complement to a good bottle of EVOO.

5 out of 5 stars Loved the Book

The Passionate Olive was an amazing book for all types of families. Olive oil is one of those wonderful staples in life that I did not realize was so versatile in everyday living from pure antibodies to furniture polish!!!This book explains every possible use for olive oil and being italian, I gave every one in my family a book for christmas.

5 out of 5 stars A great read . . .

Very educational, fun, interesting . . . However, I find that I'm not reading this book as I would a novel . . . I'm reading it more as a reference book! I have jumped all over the chapters to see how olives can make a difference in my life in whatever areas interest me at the time. I never would have dreamed that olive oil could be such a part of one's life -- other than enjoying the flavor of it in foods! Wow! Was I ever wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about olives

I bought this book for myself and a friend. It has so many easy everyday uses for olive oil. I made my friend a birthday basket with this book, olive oil and olive oil soap. She loved it.
