Our olive harvest was completed on Sunday October 18 with the help of family and friends. The harvest celebration included lunch.
The harvest was smaller than last year but the yield per pound was better. The olives were riper so we expect the oil to be more buttery and less pungent. After the fine particles settle out over the next few week we will send the oil in to have it tested to verify it qualifies as extra virgin and to test the polyphenol content. Polyphenols provide the health benefits that olive oil is known for and lends the pungency to the oil.
