Brief
There are too many conÂsidÂerÂaÂtions to proÂvide advice on the best time to harÂvest olives. Harvesting early will proÂvide a higher qualÂity olive oil. A later harÂvest will increase yield. But many other facÂtors come into the equaÂtion, such as cliÂmate conÂdiÂtions, the olive culÂtiÂvar and proÂcessÂing methÂods.
