Olive progress, meeting the neighbors.

July 9, 2005 by Divina Cucina

Here is a progress report on my bonsai olive tree..

I took it to meet the neighbors olives and to compare the size of the olives.
They are the same!

My neighbors olive trees are full, it will be a great year for oil. We live next door to the local cooperative olive press,so don’t have to go far to buy oil!

I will salt cure my few little olives as well as those I can gather from abandoned trees.

I prefer the salt method to the Caustic soda.. or the salt water brine. I find they keep longer and taste better.

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
