2009 was a lot kinder than last year, dry, sunny, warm but very windy. The crop was pretty good but the press demanded a minimum of 1000 kilos for an individual pressing so we picked and pressed with a few neighbours.
In total we had 1114 kgs which yielded 220 litres of your finest Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We started picking on Friday morning and finished with lunch on Sunday and then pressed at 11Am on Monday, on time for the 1st time.
The oil tastes fantastic, maybe the best yet. I’ve seen an ad online where they charge 25 pounds for half a litre of the fresh stuff!
