The first flower buds on the olive trees at the end of April on a beautiful Spring afternoon. By the end of May these will bloom in clusters of beautiful little white flowers, then shed their petals in the summer heat as the fruit grows and the pit forms.

In Autumn the olives mature and ripen. Harvest depends on a number of factors, but we generally work slightly later than others, because we prefer the smoother and richer taste of our oil then. It has a richer bouquet of flavors; fresh but smooth, moderately fruity, slightly pungent, and with the hint of grass notes.
