Starting to see baby olives appearing on our trees! 🌿🫒

Every olive starts out green, forming shortly after the trees bloom in spring. Over the coming months, warm sunny days and cool nights help the fruit mature and develop the flavor compounds and oil that make great extra virgin olive oil possible. ☀️✨
