It’s been a challenging harvest, but a challenge we were able to meet and what we have grown, picked, milled, filtered, blended and bottled is (we think) our finest oil yet.
A wet summer gave us heavy olives with a lower oil yield but that oil is balanced and complex in it’s taste, being as it was, exposed to endless cycles of rain and sunshine. A large team was on hand to help the family harvest the trees and the very special family day of harvest once again saw four generations of pickers harvesting the olives.
