Olivi Nero

The other day, in the garden, we collected the olives. I forgot my camera that day, but picture the scene from Under The Tuscan Sun when they were all out collecting their olives. There were people on tall ladders combing the branches, while the grapes fell to the material covered ground. Now, take everything that is Hollywood away and that is what it was like.

We are now letting the olives rest in salt until they are ready.
