Huile d'olive 2
Posted by Mhélène (Paris, France) on 14 April 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
La pâte obtenue est peu à peu ramassée dans des cuvettes et transférée dans un bassin pendant que les ânes reprennent des forces.
The olive's dough is collected in washbasins and transferred in ponds while asses eat.

@zOOm: Perchée ..perchée ...c'est la haute montagne ! En fait ce ne sont pas les mêmes que sur la première photo je mets celles qui me paraissent le mieux décrire le processus ! Tout le monde était au même travail dans toute la campagne alentour ! Merci Florence !

Digging it into the basins must be very hard work.
I gather the oil has already been removed.

Very interesting, there's a lot to see in this shot... how many time do they spend with this work, before the oil can be used?

@Nina: The process is long and it takes days to get some oil ! Thank you Nina !
@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Merci Wolfgang ! ...je n'ai pas plongé ...!!!

They still use the traditional method of pressing... which gives the donkeys a hard life. :(
Another brilliantly interesting shot.

Dramatic view of the subjects Marie-Helene! Shooting from almost directly overhead makes it clear as to their task!
