The Tuscan Olive Harvest 🫒 More than just a seasonal activity, this is a cherished cultural tradition that connects the region's past and present. Every year, from October to December, communities come together to handpick olives, honoring centuries-old methods that preserve the quality and heritage of their prized olive oil. This communal event is celebrated with festivals, tastings, and shared meals, where the fresh "olio nuovo" takes center stage. Deeply rooted in history and local life, the Tuscan olive harvest embodies the spirit of tradition, community, and the land’s enduring bounty. Take part in this year's harvest: https://lnkd.in/eQmj66_W
