Olives for Oil

Olive harvest



This year's olives. Our friends who actually make oil from their own olives tell me that it has been an excellent year. There were few olives: perhaps as a consequence, the oil is very good. 
I can't wait to try it. 






Meanwhile, I admire our own shiny black olives. I shall gather them and maybe they will contribute to our neighbours' oil. They are good only for oil: we cannot preserve them for antipasti.

  1. The tree in the first picture is doing remarkably well. Future harvests no doubt will provide a much greater bounty.

    You are taking some really fantastic photographs.
