Thanks a lot, glad you like it :)
We haven't harvest yet but we usually make a ton of olive oil, more or less. We use hand held electric sticks, we couldn't manage this quantity otherwise!
I haven't heard of Croatian olive oil before but I'll take your word that it is good! I am genetically programmed though (as every one that is from Crete) to tell you that OUR olive oil is the best in the world :)
There is a very famous Italian magazine specialized for extra vergine olive oil. Every year they publish a list of 100 best olive oils in the world. Every year there are at least 30 oils from Croatia in this list. I forgot the name of the magazine but I'll remember it...
It was joke! But I guess that my English are not good enough for humour :)
Of course Croatia can produce excellent olive oil, as many other places too. I was emphasizing on the fact that my countrymen are too stubborn to accept that any other place on the planet can be better than our own, in any field! This stubbornness is so notorious that we make fun of each other about it :)
I've tried different Greek, Italian, Spanish, Moroccan & Croatian olive oils & till now the best I've tried was Croatian. But of course, it depends of the olive grower & the producer - how high quality of the olive oil they want to produce. Croatia is small so here we're oriented towards the highest quality while Italy, Spain & Morocco are oriented towards the quantity.
Moroccan oils are the worst!
@fotostef I found out the name of the magazine - Flos Olei - check it out! 😉
OK Thanks! I'll check it out :)
It's a really good magazine & I see you really like working with olives so I also think that you will enjoy reading! 😉
