The harvest season in Greece usually begins in late October and extends into January, although it can vary depending on the weather and location.
Harvesting methods are ,
Hand picking: This method is preferred by many, especially for table olives, as it minimizes damage to the fruit, which can affect the flavor of the oil.
Reed pin: Olives are shaken from the trees with reeds, with nets placed underneath to catch them.
Mechanical Harvesting: Machinery is used to shake the trees and collect the olives, often with vibrating rakes or shakers.
After harvesting, the harvested olives are usually transported to olive mills for processing.
Different olive varieties ripen at different times, affecting the time of harvest.
Here in our olive grove we take care of our olives without pesticides and we harvest the olives with passion, producing extra virgin olive oil every year as well as olives for use in food.
One can recognize good quality olive oil by its fresh, fruity smell and bitter and spicy aftertaste.
