Olive Picking in the Amandola Area

11/20/2009 - 03:55

Just wondering if there is anyone living in the Amandola/ Sarnano/ Force area who is not in Italy at the moment and has olives which need picking as we are hopefully going to the press next week. As the harvest is not looking good this year, there is no minimum fee at our local press, unlike previous years. Please PM us if you are interested. Thanks.

I just heard on the Spanish news that the olive harvest this year is also very small as there has been a consistent drought. The quality is also very poor. This coincides with some of the information given by members regarding the �� situation. The reporters were stating that the 2008 harvest was an excellent one and this caused a drop in olive oil prices; however, if it does not rain during the winter the 2010 harvest will be in jeopardy and olive oil prices will escalate worldwide.
