If we are unable to contact you we will go ahead and dispatch the rest of your order without the said item.
It all started in my early days thanks to my grandfather.
He loves olive tree like it was a “family member”.
I remember once when I was a kid and harvest arrived I used a wooden stick to get the olives off the branches as it was quicker with the result of him going mad at me and when asking the question “why?” the answer was simpler than I could think of, “now imagine that I will do the same on you, how would you feel?”
Very true “Nonno”, you never did that to me but what you have done is giving the passion that you had for the wonderful and ancient product.
Today I still look at the olives flowers during spring and at the actual olives during harvesting with the same emotion and little grin that I vividly remember your expression did.
Thank you “Nonno Pasqualino”
