I was going through pictures, I found out I should use a feature on Amazon called Amazon Store, where I can show all my products on one web page so I am working on that and going through my pictures. I thought I would post two pictures. These two pictures show very clearly the difference in...

That was funny Steve.:laughing:

A couple years ago we put a rook over our open balcony. Here in the BRIGHT Provence sun a pergola just doesn't cut it, we want full sun protection. We ended up with a roofing material that was steel, with an terracotta film , don't know if it is baked on or glued on, and the shape of the steel...

I know that is probably all you saw, It's killing me. If you looked over on the right hand side of the Amazon web page you would have seen the varietals and the sizes available, and trust me there is more than 0.25L available. There is 0.50L. 1L. 2L. This is what I am trying so hard to get...

More BIG NEWS!!! We WON our 22nd and 23rd Gold or Silver Medal in our Regional Olive Oil Competition. I was very confused why our Bouteillan did not win a medal in the French National Competition. Honestly it is fabulous. We took a GOLD MEDAL for our AOC de Provence but the Bouteillan didn't...

G-O-L-D M-E-D-A-L Baby We just won our 2st1 Gold or Silver Medal. This competition is the French National Competition, Concourse Agricole Generale. Think of it as a State Fair but only for a country, it is HUGE. I have not been able to enter the two previous years, as you have to have set...

Busy, busy busy. Nico and i finished filling bubble wrapping and casing the olive oil, now we are palletizing it and trust me that is a real chore. Our olive oil is heavy and in shipping especially by ocean freight, we want to make sure that our pallets stay in tact, we don't want the cases...

Here I have a cool picture for you, everybody likes pictures. This picture is showing the end of our Basil Infused Olive Oil. Over time the debris will decant down to the bottom of the tank and the clean oil will rise to the top as it is lighter. We don't produce much Basil and Lemon Infused...

You guys will like this, I hope you find it interesting. I read a lot of research on olive farming and olive oil research, obviously I am looking for how we can improve as well as a yardstick, how well are we doing compared to others. The thing is a lot of information is in Spanish and Italian...

We keep working filling, labeling and casing, We should finish in the next few days then it is on to paletizing. I resized some pics to a smaller size so hopefully these will display better than the last pics I posted. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... It takes a long time to...

I got the lab reports back on our last harvest and they are OUTSTANDING! To be Extra Virgin in Europe you must have 0.8 or Less in Acidity 20 parts per something, or less, in Peroxide We are LOW, LOW, LOW, Yea! 0.1 and 0.2 in acidity. Low in acidity, very low in peroxide and HIGH in...

We ran out of stock at Amazon I think it was August. I won't be able to ship again until January which means I am going to miss the whole Christmas season which was really good for us last year. It is what it is, last year was a low harvest & we didn't have the oil. This year looks really good...

Not much news from the olive farm, have been painting for the last 2 months. Nico can't paint do to the fumes but he does everything else besides sanding (he has asthma and can't take the dust) which is really helpful. The old paint was oil based and I wanted to paint it with a colored paint and...

Sorry I have been MIA, it's the harvest, or should I say it was the harvest. We are done, Nico filtered the oil today, and as we knew by looking at the amount of olives on the trees it was a very low harvest. It is going to be a tough year. Not only that but people were otherwise engaged in...

So sad, you have my deepest condolences Don.
