By the way did you ever bottle any of your olives and if you did, how did they turn out and was it worth the effort? Tony

It would be a killer living around so many trees and you didn’t like olives. By the way did you ever bottle any of your olives and if you did, how did they turn out and was it worth the effort?

Looking at all those has made me hungry for a feed of olives now Wow that’s a lot of olive trees which kinda makes my olive farm I once had look pretty sparse, when I lived in Brisbane I had just one olive tree.

Ross It's pretty dry countrty. I think your're right about tans (or pehaps we should say skin cancer) and goats. Feral olives have become a real problem in South Australia and after seeing the landscape in this part of Spain it's not hard to see why olives do so well in Australia's crap soil and harsh conditions. Donald The more it think about the "good old days" the happier I am to be living now and to be able to live in peace in Australia. When I was in Bosnia a local guy said to me, "we have a war here every 50 years". Some of the olives were amazing. i had some that tasted smoked and when I asked if they were in fact smoked, I was told, "no, that's just the way how we do them in this area, it's our specialty".

Almost like corn in Iowa... and it's the same: the locals are so proud of their corn they want to stuff you full of it. I envy you the taste of locally grown and cured olives and olive oil... yum! When you think of those hill towns, the good old days don't seem so good. Amazing.
