Black net under olive trees
When preparing for olive harvesting, a black net is typically spread out over the trees. This net is secured in place with stakes or weights to prevent it from blowing away.
As olives ripen and fall, they collect on the net. Regularly checking and emptying the net is crucial to prevent olives from fermenting, which can negatively impact the quality of the olive oil.
After harvesting, the net is carefully removed, and the olives are collected for pressing to extract the oil.
Handling the black net carefully is important to avoid damaging the olives. Proper storage of the net after use ensures it remains in good condition for future harvests. With proper care, a black net can enhance the efficiency of the olive harvesting process.
However, we avoid using this method as it can potentially degrade the quality of the olive oil.
