Harvest: A Lots OLIVE from Our Garden

The olive tree is growing in our yard. But it did not fruit all the time. Last year, I cut the olive branch because jumped out on the road. And an olive began to attach many fruits after that. Is that because I cut the branch? Or it is not understood whether it is because it ripened. The olive tree attached many fruits this year also. We pruned the branch which attached the fruit. Then, the olive fruit quantity filled by the bucket has been harvested. It is very rare that an olive tree bears a fruit.
Our olive tree is no agrochemicals and organic agriculture.






This photo is after gathering a harvest.




All the fruits were harvested.
Therefore, the badly made thing is also mixed.

If it fruits next year also, a harvest will be gathered without cutting a branch.






It was good-looking and we began sorting with ripe fruits in addition to it.




Green olives and Black olives.






A well-shaped olive is pickled in water several months.
It is for removing bitter taste.
I think that the remaining olives filled about 2/3 in the bucket will refine oil.





First, all the olive fruits are washed in cold water.





The fruit of a bucket must crush.
This is serious work.
It is hard to crush green olive fruit.
It is because it is not ripe.

Still not finish the olive crush...
