As a chef at an Italian restaurant, Michael Chiarello considers olive oil to be his number one ingredient, but there's a difficult and often overlooked process of harvesting olives and then pressing them for oil. Now Michael's sharing some great recipes that celebrate the unique flavor of olive oil.
