olive tree harvest

Here there are many pictures of the olive harvest that occurs in autumn; the nets are stretched among the olive tree branches in order not to loose the fruit and to make the gathering lighter. The olives are used to produce oil which flavour and taste is different according to the production area. Olive oil is the essential dressing in the Mediterranean diet which is considered to be a really good and healthy diet.
