For California teacher Kat Ruiz Moore, it started with a trip.

Then came a home in Ortigia. Then another piece of land near Noto.

And 16 acres of olive trees.

We talked with Kat about the beautiful, complicated and sometimes completely crazy reality of turning a love for Sicily into a life there.

And yes, we asked about the olive oil.

Our latest interview for Appetito.
