I took some grief about my post on August 9th, among other things being accused of doing "marketing" which sort of perplexed me.

I have been following, at some remove, the steady flow of lawsuits in the olive oil industry, not in small part through The Olive Oil Times but also through other media.

When I got into this business I had visions of sunset strolls through the orchard on warm summer evenings and enjoying a glass of wine or dining al fresco with a beautiful view over the orchard. It never occurred to me that as an added bonus I’d become a connoisseur of regulatory inspections.

One of the questions we get asked most often from potential new customers is what makes The Olive Oil Source different from our competitors.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Shawn Addison and I am the owner of The Olive Oil Source. I decided it would be a good idea to share some of what I do on a day to day basis.
