I like nothing more on a Sunday morning to walk down the village to my favourite coffee shop light a nice Cuban cigar and read through from cover to cover The Olive Oil Times it's a stonking good read. I came across this info below it may be of interest to local olive growers.


It's very sad but thousands of olive trees in Italy have been infected with a hostile bacteria - Xylella fastidiosa and this will result in big price increases and may be beneficial to Spanish olive growers.
