| The olive tree (Olea europaea) is an iconic symbol of the Mediterranean region, known not only for its cultural significance but also for the production of olives and olive oil. A Mediterranean olive grove is a picturesque sight, with rows of these evergreen trees bearing fruits that vary in color from green to black as they ripen.When the olives are ripe and ready for harvest, they can be either handpicked or mechanically harvested, depending on the scale of the operation and the desired quality of the olives. Handpicking is a traditional method that is often favored for high-quality olive oil production, as it is less likely to damage the olives or the tree. |
