Chef Amy Riolo and Simon Poole, MD, authors, “Olive Oil for Dummies,”

Little Italy Podcast

Do you love olive oil? I do, and it’s not just for cooking and eating. In fact, it’s been used for everything from bathing to skin and hair care, too. But how does a person know what’s the best type of olive oil to use, to consume, to cook with? Please welcome my friend and award-winning chef, Amy Riolo, and Dr. Simon Poole, to discuss their latest book, “Olive Oil for Dummies.” In their latest book, Amy and Dr. Simon they walk us through the different types of olive oils from around the world, particularly the olive oils from italy. What’s the difference between extra-virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil, and standard olive oil? We discuss that. Can olive oil be put directly on your skin as a moisturizer? We talk about that, too. And what about using olive oil to eat and cook with? Now that’s the yummy part of our discussion. Please join me in welcoming our guests as we explore the beautiful world of olive oil. And if you like what you hear, you can order their book in time for the holidays, too! Please tune into all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and the #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s my pleasure to have you join us. Make sure to share with your friends, too!
