17.02.2022 Next harvest we are going to experiment with knocking some of our olives down onto tarps and then blowing the leaf litter away (rather than laboriously handpicking it out as we have in the past). In theory we will end up with good, clean olives for processing with very little contaminating leaf matter. And less time up ladders handpicking. This rechargeable, cordless blower is the first bit of new kit that has arrived to help us with that plan.

28.01.2022 Liquid gold So here is what our own olive oil looks like - over the winter we let it settle out and recently we have been tasting, blending different pressings and bottling. This photo doesn’t show the labels very well, but gives a good indication of the clarity, particularly the bottle on the right which is a clearer glass than the other.

25.01.2022 While we love our olive oil we always save the biggest and/or the best olives for eating. These ones were cured in ceramic pots in a salt solution until last week. Once the bitterness was gone we sat them in plain rain water for a few days to remove the excess salt. And today they have gone into their storage solution, which includes some vinegar, with extra virgin olive oil on the top. Ready now to eat straight from the jar or to scoop out and dress up with herbs or chilli or lemon etc as needed.

23.01.2022 Recently a few people have thought they had at least 50 kilos of olives that they wanted The Olive Shed, Yass to press - but once picked it has turned out to be a lot less than that . So FYI, this is what approximately 100 kilos looks like. Going into the press right now
