A short history of the Italian food product is followed by a detailed description of the production techniques and notes for evaluating and appreciating the regional differences.

The Italian Pantry books are valuable references for culinary students and professionals as they are scholarly and technically informative. Lavish colour photographs of each type of cheese, pasta, olive oil, cured meat and prepared dishes (with recipes), provide a very pleasant browse or read. Details of each olive oil Denomination from Riviera Liguri to Vali Trapanesi.

An Italian Pantry,
By Henry Floyd (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Olive Oil (Italian Pantry Collection) (Hardcover)
I find myself constantly returning to this book, as well as its sister volumes in the Italian Pantry series, over and over and still finding something new and enjoyable. Olive Oil is something that has been around since ancient times, and yet, only recently are we discovering its myriad uses in the kitchen. This colorful book illustrates the history and production of Olive Oil and presents many simple, yet lavish regional Italian recipes for sauces, preserved items, and entrees. Of course, you can always just keep a little carafe on the table for drizzling over pasta, meats, vegetables, and just about anything else for that matter.
