After the two weeks of intensive work, Olive Grove is finally ready for the planting of Olives. As you can see the pictures below, the parcel is completely flat. Also, we removed existing tangerine plantage, but leave walnut, fig trees, and existing olives (after the melioration we found about 30 olives on the parcel, some of them bigger, some smaller). It is very important for the Extra Virgin Olive Oil that Olive Trees are close to the other fruits. This way Olive Oil gets the special smell, which raises its quality. After this step we need to make the holes in the ground.
