Before the olive oil, come “tučene masline” which means “cracked olives”.
And this might just be our favourite part of the season.
You wait for one of those beautiful sunny days, gather the family and head out to the olive grove. No big plans, everyone finds something to do. Picking, cutting, talking, laughing… some doing a little more talking than working….
These olives will now be prepared the old-fashioned way, slowly, just as they have been for generations.
Soon, we’ll be back for the rest, this time, for the olive oil.
Because before something reaches our table, there’s often a whole day worth remembering♥️
