Olives

Kategori: Greece, Travel

 
The olive season has started!
A Pole, an Egyptian, a Greek, a Dane and a Swede joined a man with a chainsaw, got into a Jeep with no brakes, went offroad and found the olive grove. Woodchips flew, branches got whacked, olives plucked and crates got filled.

I've learned that the, to the eye so appetizing, ripe olive actually has a very bitter taste, and that it needs several weeks of preparation in water and salt before it's edible.
I've also observed the pruning of olive trees, with a chainsaw. It made sense.
