It’s me from Texas again. I’m a 82 year old widow whose lived, traveled and seen alot. It’s my belief that every trade school all over this plant should require their students to watch every video you all have produced. Why? Here in US we have this woke generation who should have stayed asleep. Kids going to college and come out knowing zilch. They whine etc etc. Hopefully the young off grinders, tradesmen and those who want to keep their freedom and support their love ones will become keepers like you and Andrea. God bless you.❤️

Another excellent vlog, Nick and Andrea! Most thorough show of how olive oil is pressed and how processing of your olives are paid for at the lagar. That was an amazing yield you had! Carissa and Iwan mentioned in their last vlog that they were off to help you finish, and Cindy mentioned she met you all leaving the lagar while she was in line to have her olives done... i was hoping to get a glimpse of you all again briefly featured in each others' vlogs as it's always nice to see you with each other 😊. Your chickens are so well cared for and look very content. Your plans for their area with Max patrolling sound great. Now... whatever could be going on in the kitchen 🤔?... Have a great week and always take good care.

Most if not all co-ops that press olives use a similar machine anyway, of course, if you are willing to go with a pre-clean beforehand they will appreciate it. The biggest olive companies in Portugal have tens (or more) of thousands of hectares of olive groves and it's all harvested by huge tractors and they have their own press and as you find out, nothing goes to waste, although some derive from the percentage they keep as payment and the paste from the local co-ops. The paste will result in refined olive oil which is an oil of lesser quality ideal for cooking. In some parts of the country, there is olive oil tasting if any is interested, I even went to a restaurant last year not too far from the Abrantes olive oil factory of Gallo oils, and the dude brought a sample of 8 local olive oils to taste before the main course which was unexpected.

Fresh pressed olive oil has a very unique taste ... but olive oil on the opposite of whisky ( the old the better ) .. should be consumed in the maximum period of 18 months ; and its very very important to keep the containers tightly closed, away from light and heat...olive oil if kept in contact with air ( oxygen ) oxidizes and loses flavor and qualities...

@@denisemastromina7821 That's funny when I was young I went several times with my parents to the Lagar with harvested olives to make olive oil, in the past Portugal produced much more olive oil than now ; the Lagar people worked for 2/3 weeks 24/24 hours straight so they cooked the meals inside the Lagar and people who are waiting - sometimes all night long- for the oil also cooked there in fact there is a dish that is typical from that season in the Lagar- Bacalhau á Lagareiro - dish that uses a good amount of olive oil in the seasoning and everyone used the fresh pressed olive oil on it and it was delicious..if you are saying the fresh olive oil is bitter well then it was not a good olive oil - the quality depends on the olives quality ,and the manner that the Lagar works etc etc.... ...in fact fresh olive oil has a strong flavour off course ,but very fruity as tasteful and like I said olive oil gets old with time it starts oxidizing after production...18 months are the maximum recommended period to consume it.....

Yes Guineas are good layers, and tasty eggs, their flesh is soft and white on the breast and brown on the legs, both gorgeous, they do eat lots of bugs,and are good at warning the chickens against any threats, if you bought the best Extra virgin olive oil you could buy, it would nearly be as tasty as ours, ours usually tastes pretty much the same Evey year, but it mellows with age and turns more golden in colour

I also see a lot of farms for sale with young olive trees. If I the read on wiki that it takes 35 years for them to come to a full harvest I'm not so keen on some prizes. Lots of real estates looks very expensive to me. Altough I saw one reasoneble for 0.75 per sqm. But that was so big that 750K makes it still to expensive.
