Olivar Sur

The groves

Three family groves outside Seville.

Slow farming

Our trees are between forty and two hundred years old. We prune by hand, mow between the rows instead of spraying and leave the cuttings as mulch.

At harvest the whole family picks for ten days, and the olives reach the mill within six hours.
