AN OLIVE CAMPAIGN: BEHIND THE SCENE
A photo-story to sum up the 2015 campaign through the pictures took by the members of the Consortium Garda DOP Oil.
Oil Garda Dop’s comeback: a short time ago we talked about the expectations on the 2015 olive campaign using optimistic words that announced a “greater quantity of olives compared to 2014” and, above all, “quality guaranteed”. Here we are, then, to recount just this campaign: in order to do it, nothing better than a few snapshots taken directly by Garda’s growers describing their work and its stages; methods and tools which, across Garda’s territory, combine tradition with modern technologies.

OLIVE OIL BETWEEN SACRED AND PROFANE
The history of olive oil in the Middle Ages is closely bound to Church and religions. Used during religious services, it was to much expansive to reach everybody’s table.

From baptism to confirmation, including anointing of the sick. Read More
