Here it's time to collect the olives and everyone who has some olive trees is busy to work on collecting them to make the new extra virgin oil! Here in Tuscany the olive oil is really really good and this year the olive are big and healthy, so we assume that we'll have a very excellent oil!
My parents are helping one of their friends to collect olives, usually they do this "activity" every year to have some bottles of great extra virgin oil for the family, but it's also a funny activity for them, because there is a group of old friends that collect the olive all togheter, they work for some hours chatting about everything with a big taste lunch in the half of the day (pasta with ragù, big steak and good wine ^_^).
I don't have enough time to collect many olives, but I usually collect a few of them to store under salt in the jars. Today me and my hubby was in the lands of the dad of Paolo and I picked some olives that after I put in the jars with salt.
I took some pics to share with you ^_^
See ya soon
