The olive harvest in Greece begins at the end of October. In the wild south, in the Mani, the farmers harvest little differently than centuries ago - and produce some of the best olive oils in Greece year after year. For two days, I accompanied a family during the olive harvest.
In this 14-minute documentary, I show what the olive tree has to do with the name of the Greek capital, why a few tools not only make the olive harvest easier, but also improve the quality of the olive oil, and how many olives you actually need to fill a bottle.

▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
How do you find a really good olive oil? What should the label say? How much should a bottle actually cost? What is the difference again between extracted and pressed, between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids? Does olive oil have to be bitter and scratch your throat? Can you really only drizzle olive oil over your salad or fry your schnitzel in it? Answers to these (and many other questions) can be found (bit by bit) here on @extranativ.
My name is Martin Pristl, and I have been dealing with such questions for over 20 years. And I have been searching for a really good olive oil for just as long - every year anew.
If you are interested in the results of my endeavours, you can find our PRASINO olive oil here: oelbaum.net
