ROTD Weekend: David Garci-Aguirre and and Olive Oil Renaissance

Episode Description:

My guest this week is David Garci-Aguirre, Master Miller at Corto Olive Oil, a California-based company crafting exceptionally fresh Fall harvest olive oil. David helps us reframe how we look at olive oil explaining that we need to think of it more as a juice than an edible oil. We talk about what makes premium olive oil different from lower quality olive oils and how recent changes in the industry (from planting, to mechanization, to packaging) will make high-quality olive oil more affordable and accessible.
