Olive Harvest

On the subject of the olives, this year we are looking forward to a bumper crop. In fact we look like having more than our family and close friends can consume and may even have a commercial quantity. Planted in 1999 as three year old trees, our varietal mix is Leccino, Pendolino, Frantoio, Manzinillo, New Norcia and Kalamata. These combined produce a flavoursome and aromatic oil, which we have found is very agreeable for “dipping”.
