And yet, when we taste it we were blown away by the flavour and consistency…..</p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”><a href=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2716.jpg”><img class=” wp-image-579 alignleft” src=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2716-300×225.jpg” alt=”IMG_2716″ width=”276″ height=”207″ /></a></p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”><a href=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_3984.jpg”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-586″ src=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_3984-300×200.jpg” alt=”IMG_3984″ width=”300″ height=”200″ /></a></p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”>With the aid of a cute animals and a cute baby our spirits were lifted daily to bring in the harvest.</p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”><a href=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2636.jpg”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-576″ src=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2636-300×300.jpg” alt=”IMG_2636″ width=”300″ height=”300″ /></a> <a href=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_3993.jpg”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-580″ src=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_3993-300×200.jpg” alt=”IMG_3993″ width=”300″ height=”200″ /></a></p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”>We had a friend, Julie from England here during the first few days of picking – thanks for your support Jules!!!</p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”><a href=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2603.jpg”><img class=”wp-image-581 aligncenter” src=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2603-300×225.jpg” alt=”IMG_2603″ width=”333″ height=”250″ /></a></p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”>We had the use of a leaf <span data-offset-key=”aaq3l-0-0″><span data-text=”true”>separator and it made the job of removing the leaves really fast!<br /> </span></span></p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”><a href=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2740.jpg”><img class=”size-medium wp-image-582 aligncenter” src=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_2740-300×225.jpg” alt=”IMG_2740″ width=”300″ height=”225″ /></a></p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”>We finished in a mere 4 days and then took the olives to our local traditional press in Donas.</p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”><a href=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_4036.jpg”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-584″ src=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_4036-300×200.jpg” alt=”IMG_4036″ width=”300″ height=”200″ /></a> <a href=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_4035.jpg”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-583″ src=”http://mountofoaks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_4035-300×200.jpg” alt=”IMG_4035″ width=”300″ height=”200″ /></a></p><br /> <p style=”text-align: center;”>And the result – a pulpy delicious high quality oil – we have 30 litres to sell.
