Every now and then, just every now and then, one tree olive knocks you out with a fruitiness which can only be described as those old confectionery sweets “Opal Fruits”. And yes: this rare-but-not-uncommon variant is so sweet and fruity it does indeed make your mouth water – just like the Opal Fruit slogan “made to make your mouth water“. After sampling just one of these exceptional tree olives you will never doubt for one moment the olive is a fruit.
We are in search of this sweet fruit – the holy grail – the mother of “tree olives”.
Season by season we here at Olia Borruix increase our knowledge and understanding of the biology of tree olive maturation.
We are in search of the holy grail – and you will be hearing about us.
