Olive harvest, Rovinj Croatia


olive field, Rovinj



This is the time to harvest olives, when the berries are still green, rather than mature and turning black. It yields slightly less oil at this stage but lower in acidity, which means better lighter taste and less easy to oxidize.

To keep the quality high, it is upmost important to press the olives as soon as possible. Meaning pick during the day and press in the evening.

The freshly pressed oil is beautifully emerald green, very light in texture but has a strong spicy note.
