More about olives

Olives..from harvest to table ..or body products
Are you interested in visiting this place or anymore like it???
because if you are, send me a comment as one of my aims is to facilitate English speaking group visit in Northern Europe spring combined with other things ...


I was fortunate this morning to be taken to this mill by a friend who was dropping his small olive harvest from his property in order to have them "pressed" to get his supply of "home grown olive oil"
how decadent is that !... here I was SOOO proud of having bottled last nights the contents of 3 jars full of MY marinated olives from MY own harvest !!!.... I tell you 3 JARS..and I a
was happy, but my own olive oil........i would be thrilled to bits...
 
 
 
 

the olives are pressed as a wole in a gian "blender"before travelling to these gold containers

then into a "separter" where skin,flesh and pips are separated from the oil  to end up in this blue and gold drum,,,

from which the oils flows in those metal drums or..

these plastic containers....

or in these glass bottles...

Whether you have 10 or more kilos of your own olives you can bring them to this mill and your olives are mixed & blended with more and you can collect your"blended oil" bottled up days or week later,
If your production is over 100kl. then you can have your "own exclusive oil" extracted to take home
how exclusive would that be !!....
 

The end products are displayed in their gorgeous "specialite" little shop...

some for the table....
 
 


some for body products...
 

You can go home with bags full of goodies after "degustation sur place "
