Olive Oil and Tariffs

The New York Times - 2024

Olive oil is largely consumed in the US, but very little is being produced.
About 97% of the olive oil sold in America is imported, mostly from Spain and Italy.
President Trump repeatedly vowed to impose hefty tariffs on imported goods.
These tariffs would negatively impact small businesses such as EXAU, a small, independent business co-founded by Skyler Mapes and her husband, Giuseppe Morisani.

Journalist Julia Moskin interviewed Ms. Mapes for The New York Times. I was asked to travel to Le Castella, a small town in Calabria where Skyler and Giuseppe live and produce the oil.
