Happy new year!

My olive oil buyers are lucky that olives are my hobby that i finance via my retal properties. If it was a business, i would go bankrupt. I would have to live another 87 years to get my ROI on olive oil. 😅

How to you make olive oil - that is not "extravirgin"?

Twitter is history.

Bottle + tap + lable cost 1,5 eur. The olive mill is .40 eur/kilo olives (4euro per liter) This already puts you at 5.5euro per liter. If i could snap my finghers & have EVERYTHING for free, except the the bottle and the mill, and sell it at zero profit, it would still cost more.

If the packaging goes up .33€ per liter, if shipping goes up .33€ per liter, and if everything else goes up .33€ per liter… and this makes my price go up 1€, This one cent extra will buy me 2 beers. Cheers!

You already know in mid-may how much olives will be on your trees. You dont know the yield. However, you do know how the oil will taste if its harvested in december - not good. So in a way, I should be thankfull to big biznis for making bad oil. They make selling my stuff much easyer.

A lot of people in my area planted a lot of trees in the last 25 years. Now, a lot of people in my area say they only harvested enough for their family needs, because they can not afford to pay for help. If i didnt buy the machine, i would do the same. If i hired help, i would be 600€ negative.

I know how much time it takes and how financially exhausting is to be a farmer that doesnt use pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, so when i see them “eco/bio” brands in supermarkets - im skeptical. If a local dude on the green market says he is eco - cool. But a plastic container on a shelf… 🤷‍♂️
