From Tree to Table

September & the olives are looking good
In October the nets go out




The olives are ripening beautifully



Time to begin harvesting


Sacked up ready for the oleificio
Oleificio San Francesco

The process begins with sifting prior to being washed

Washed, ready for pressing



These are OUR olives being pressed!


And the 2013 vintage comes out of the press


Transfer to our oil can begins the old fashioned way


But hubby prefers this way
35 litres of extra virgin olive oil now rest in our kitchen
And our final bottle of 2011's oil is waiting to be started at lunchtime
