Has anyone been to the oil factories yet and been given a price please. It seems to go up each year I wonder if it's worth all the trouble...........



Thanks

Took 2 large bags yesterday which produced a demijohn of oil (about 4 bottles) - cost only 10 TL total. Olive factory is next door to Ian Smith Estate Agents - drop the olives off and pick up later. Hope this helps.

We have several very prolific wild olive trees on our land, can these green and black olives be used to produce olive oil or are only cultivated ones used? I've been told several stories and was wondering if anyone who has actually done this, not just read a webpage, knows the facts.

Pick them and harvest them,you have nothing to lose.If you find the oil to be little bitter,squeeze some lemon juice in bottle,drum and rest it.
