“We are the fourth generation that engages with olive harvesting. I’ve been involved in the procedure since childhood. Back then my grandpa was in charge of the harvesting. Every year, olive harvesting is a reference point, because that is the time when you know if a whole year’s work will pay off. Apart from the economic importance for our family, harvesting is a connection with our past. It’s also a reassurance that the olive oil on our friends’ plates is the best!”
