The Harvest  
 
 
It is called olive picking; In the manual picking workers climb the tree with stairs and pick olives from the branches with their own fingers or with the help of special combs. The olives fall in this way on a net located under the tree. Once olives are picked from the tree, they are gathered and put in sacks or large cases. In this way they arrive at the oil-mill where the traditional working begins with the pan-mills and cold squeezing.
Manual picking is the way that guarantees the best quality of olives as it does not damage olives and trees and therefore also the oil’s quality.
