It’s Olive Season: Harvest Your Own Olive Oil
With the arrival of cold weather, the fields of the Valle de Hondón come alive with activity and color. During November and December, it’s common to see tarps spread under the olive trees, tractors at work, and olives ready to be harvested. This is the time when tradition meets effort, and every fruit picked reflects patience and dedication.
If you have olive trees on your property, you are probably harvesting your own olives, carefully selecting the best ones and enjoying the process that produces unique olive oil. There is nothing like the aroma of freshly made olive oil or the satisfaction of enjoying a natural and authentic product, straight from the tree to your table.
Harvesting your olives is not just agricultural work, but also an opportunity to connect with the land and the landscape of the Valle de Hondón. Watching the olive press fill up and seeing the golden oil flow is an experience worth living.
And you? Do you also harvest your olives at this time of year? Share your experience, photos, or memories. In the Valle de Hondón, every harvest is unique, and celebrating olive oil is celebrating our tradition and environment.
