this year's result: 550 kilo's, just enough.
Because of a heavy hailstorm at the end of september a lot of olives had fallen from the trees prematurely. Last year we could harvest twice and had more than 600 kilo's each time.
By the way, when I'm talking about the result you need to know that it's always a shared crop between Oystein and Birgit, our land, Bill's land and even a bit from Keith and Sue's finca this year. I'ts easier and more fun this way.
The olives are dumped into a funnel and...
brought up by a conveyorbelt to a washing and weighing unit.
After this the olives are ground to a pulp, sieved and then mixed for an hour.
It does not really look that appetiting but already smells divine!
Now this looks better: slightly green extra virgin olive oil.
Nothing beats having your own!
