When was Olive Oil Times founded?

In January 2010, Curtis Cord renamed a per­sonal blog where he com­pared the tastes of var­i­ous olive oils encoun­tered on his trav­els to Olive Oil Times. With writ­ers and con­trib­u­tors in olive oil-pro­duc­ing regions around the world pro­vid­ing timely news and infor­ma­tion for olive oil enthu­si­asts, chefs and food indus­try par­tic­i­pants, Olive Oil Times has become the inter­na­tional pub­li­ca­tion of record for the sector, and an indis­pens­able source of unbi­ased infor­ma­tion for con­sumers and pro­fes­sion­als alike.
