    Olive Harvest, Italy

    By alisonv  |  Posted November 3, 2009  |  Rome, Italy
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Slice of life stories are one thing, but tablespoonfuls are quite another. alisonv put together an almost Travel Channel-esque piece about olive harvesting outside Rome, Italy, in preparation for the pressing of olive oil. It's a beautiful piece featuring footage she's compiled over the years.
    - nsaidi, CNN iReport producer

    That wonderful season of the olive harvest has arrived. I am looking forward to getting out of the city and going to a "frantoio" - an olive press - to buy this year's fresh extra virgin olive oil. I may go out again this year and actually harvest some olives. It's free labor, but  they will usually give you a bottle of the precious oil. That's worth a day in the trees!
