At last some photos of our oil production
Ten crates of hand picked olives
Transported to the family owned traditional millInto one big crate for weighing
Then on their way to the stone wheels that ground them into a paste
The paste is distributed onto round pads that are then put onto the big spikes and placed under pressure in the blue machines, soon the oil starts to pour. It is cleaned and finally many hours later our faces light up as we see the finished product.
Our very own, it is every bit as gorgeous as it looks, 40 litres of the finest oil I have ever made/seen/tasted.
I have serious oil envy now, what an achievement! And you know exactly where it comes from.
ReplyDeleteI can vouch for how delicious your oil is! Congratulations on another productive season.
