In August, it is the time when the fruit grows. During this month, it can be seen a significant change in the size, color and development of the olive.
The olive is very green, with an intense color. The different varieties can be perfectly recognized. They have a completely defined shape and their characteristics are very differentiated.
Now, we can begin to intuit the kind of harvest will be. We must start predicting what types of extra virgin olive oil we will make, what varieties we will use …
Although in agriculture, until one “has the sack and well tied”, as the popular saying goes, nothing can be taken for granted.
But it does help us to make predictions and get ahead of ourselves to take care of everything that is in our hands.
The growth of the fruit ends when it begins to change color, from green to purple.
