The noise of pressing machine. The scent of olive oil. The repetition of bottling, capping and sticking labels. The scary cracking sound of (me) breaking a new cap. Those days in the factory…

We laid the nets around the trees. The nets were extended as long as possible in between trees. We brought down olives by using the harvesters which looked like giant forks that shook automatically. Olives would fly down blindly and hit on my face, dropped into my boots and sometimes into my gloves (don’t know how it happened). We transferred the olives from the nets into the baskets and lastly they would be sent to the factory for cold-press.

From growing to pruning olive trees, from harvesting olives to pressing oils, from the grove to our table, olive oil is only made possible when all the natural condition are right and all the hard work put in.

Herds of sheep or cows were guests of the olive grove. They were from the neighbours. Occasionally, I would walk Roger in the grove. Sometimes, he would run next to me if I jog in the grove. He usually got excited when the sheep were around and he would chase after them for no reason (I guess so).
