Olive harvesting. Orchard of olive trees Olea europaea,with nets laid around each tree to catch falling olives. Although this is a traditional way of harvesting olives,once the fruit is picked it is graded mechanically by size for pressing. Small olives have a higher oil content. The principal product of the cultivation of the tree is olive oil. Olea europaea has evergreen leaves and oval fruit coloured green,then black. This small tree is distributed around the Mediterranean region. Photographed in Apulia,Italy | |
