These are picual olives that we make into our award winning Mediterranean blend they have a green cut tomatoe leave aroma that is intense with a really lovely green colour .
Always keeping an eye on what’s going on
Keeping a close eye on everything
The final prune and mulching before harvesting in May/June.
There is losts of leaf drop with the dry conditions especially the leccino trees.
But the fruit is a good size and not minding the Hot summer. Fingers crossed for some really lovely flavoured oils again this year.
Evidence of our vigorous pruning regime bringing results now it’s harvest time 🙌🏻
We love it when we see fruit flying off the trees and stripping it bare like on this well pruned Frantoio tree 😍

Our olive waste does the full circuit and ends up back in the grove at the end of the season. We mix in bark fines and lime to help it breakdown before it’s spread back around the grove as a natural fertiliser. 🌳🚜
