 gorgeous mid-October days for our “earlier-than-early” olive harvest

On October 14 and 15 we harvested “earlier-than-early” the olives for our Genius Loci Premium Grade Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  As you may have read in a former blog post, there is more and more supporting evidence that early harvested olives contain additional elements –  thus providing additional health benefits.  Traditionally, we have always harvested early.  This year was an experiment in harvesting a limited crop even earlier.
