After a year marked by water shortage – though the indications of higher precipitations were confirmed in spring – interventions in the olive grove of the Riviera Ligure aimed at nourishing and sustaining plants. Fertilization is pivotal at this stage. Timasprint/Timagreen was used in this case: a special granular organic mineral fertilizer with a correct […]
Harvesting and pressing: the 2017-2018 season’s oil from the olive groves of the Riviera Ligure
And that makes five. For the fifth consecutive year, we have reaped the fruit of a year’s labour in the olive groves of the Riviera Ligure.

The year 2016/2017 in the Riviera Ligure Olive Grove
The 2015/2016 olive season was a great year for several reasons. Both the quantity as well as the quality of the oil were significant thanks to favourable weather and the absence of the olive fruit fly. A high yield season is normally followed by a low one.
