Italian Olive Oil & 3 Mistakes When Growing Olives

By Rebecca Mills


Cultivation, in the field, is crucial if the creation of Italian olive oil is to be seen. There is plenty of farming and growing that is done on the matter and, as a result, these efforts have to be seen on a consistent basis. In order for this to be done, though, even the most minimal of mistakes have to be looked into. In fact, here are just 3 of the potential cultivation mistakes that can be made, each of them more than deserving of being looked into.

Growing olives with poor soil. While it seems as though most olives are able to grow in moderate soil, the truth of the matter is that the rate of growth can be quite slow. In the worst case scenario, the olives in question simply will not grow at all, which is a problem for those who are tasked with creating oil. In order for this task to be made easier, focus on the utilization of rich soil composed of various nutrients. It is with this component that growth can happen with more efficiency.

Now allowing enough sunlight. One of the biggest concerns about plant life is that sunlight can vary from day to day, depending on the weather. In order for olives to be grown with the utmost quality intact, it's worth noting that they need - and this is the very least - six hours of sunlight. As you can imagine, this is paired off well with the aforementioned soil but there is another quality that must be set in place. It is one that will help high-quality Italian olive oil to be seen.

Allowing olives to undergo a state of prolonged drought. Much like other trees and types of plant life - and authorities like Unaprol will say the same - olives require nourishment and the best way for this to be done is for water to be given. Much like soil, this will allow the fruit to grow with quality set in place and what this means is that better products can be made. Amongst them is Italian olive oil, which is one that has more than its fair share of uses on the culinary side of things.

It's clear that olives can be grown with quality intact, which goes without saying. However, like anything else, mistakes can be made and these can hamper the creation of other products that can be used for culinary purposes. As a farmer, you do not want to encounter the mistakes in question, at least not time and time again. You're going to want to avoid these particular mistakes, so hopefully this piece has been able to grant you a greater sense of awareness on the matter.
