What do we pay attention to when we pick the olives?

Harvesting of olive oil varieties begins when the color of the olive becomes green-purple and gradually darkens. The early harvest of olive fruit gives us the valuable fresh olive oil, which has a high nutritional value, while the delayed harvest gives us lower quality olive oil in organoleptic characteristics. When picking olives, we avoid pruning and pruning olive trees in rainy weather and high humidity conditions, as fungal and bacterial diseases develop.
