OLIVE TREE TRAIL Mediterranean Cooking, Is Based on Olive Oil 2 THE STONE QUARRY AND FOSSILS 7 WHEN DOES THE HARVEST TAKE PLACE ? The cliff, behind the olive oil mill, is an old stone quarry; the very same stones were used to build the village of Cadenet. The exact point of time for the harvest depends on the sort of olive and the desired result of the oil. The olives The Luberon in Provence is an area full of fossil deposits. If you look down at your feet you will find scallop and oyster for a fruity green olive oil are harvested at the beginning of the season – between October and November, when fossils dating from the Miocene period (-23 to – 5 million years). This area corresponds to the opening of the western their color is changing from green to black. The resulting oil has an intensive taste with an aroma of herbs. For part of the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, as well as the formation of the Alps. The foundations of the mill revealed the ripe fruity, ripe olives are picked later in the season when the olives are black. These produce an oil that has a extensive fossil beds of oysters in a layer 10 to 20cm thick inches dating from 10 million years ago. In other areas of the taste of apples, flowers and dried fruit. To know the right date for the harvest, depending on the expected result, Luberon we can find very well-preserved fossils of vertebrates, mammal footsteps, insects and plant residues. we use modern technology: we tests olives on a regular basis and analyse them prior to the harvest, to know the percentage of oil and how spicy and bitter it is. 3 OUR TREES THE LUBERON 4000 olive trees spread over 15 hectares of land, planted in 1998, 1999 and 2000. 5 varieties of olives: Aglandau 80%. The The forest area north of you is called the Luberon. This mountain range gives the name to the whole region. The Luberon rest is divided between 4 other varieties called Bouteillan, Picholine, Salonenque and Cayon. These are the 5 varieties of extends from Cavaillon to Manosque and covers an area of 3,000 km2. It connects the Mediterranean sea and the the AOC Provence label. Our trees are fairly young. Irrigation is key for the growth of the trees as well as for the fruit. southern Alps. The highest peak reaches 1125 m and is named Mourre Nègre. It is located just in front of you. You can The most important time of irrigation is April, May and June when the trees are in blossom and fruit begins to form. recognize it by the high mast with all the mounted antennas. This is a beautiful area for hiking and biking. And in clear Water is also needed for the lipogenesis (the production of the oil in the fruit) If it rains in the spring and if we have a few storms in the summer, it won’t be necessary to water. The olive tree is characterized by its longevity; these trees can reach 100 years of age and much more. If the trunk of the tree disappears throughout the ageing process; new shoots grow from the base of the tree, ensure its durability and reproduce a new tree. The olive tree is also known to be very rustic, enabling the tree to grow in a very hot climate and in very poor soil. 8 THE LUBERON REGIONAL NATURAL PARK Here you can also see young olive trees, planted in 2010 (Aglandau, Bouteillan, Salonenque and Cayon). The Luberon Natural Park covers an area of more than 185,000 hectares, extending from Cavaillon (Vaucluse) to Lurs (Alpes- de- Hautes-Provence) along both sides of the Luberon mountain range (1125m high at the peak of Mourre Nègre). 4 VIEW OF THE 2009 GROVE Located at the point where the climate of the Alps meets the climate of the Mediterranean, the Luberon is not only In front of you, you can see our young olive grove planted in 2009. At the bottom of the hill, the stream called the Laval home to an exceptional variety of flora and fauna, but also has a rich architectural heritage and landscape. The Luberon flows from the Luberon out into the Durance river to the South of Cadenet. It runs through 4 communes : Cadenet, Natural Park is also a thriving area, with a population of 174,500 inhabitants living in 77 towns and villages. Vaugines, Cucuron and Puyvert. It also goes through our estate which is why we decided to call it Laval. The river In December 1997 the Luberon Natural Park was officially included in the list of UNESCO World Network of Durance is the longest river in Provence. Its sources is in the Alps, 2632m high in “Mont Chenaillet”, close to the Italian Biosphere Reserves, acknowledging the essential role of the Luberon in the preservation of the region’s ecological border, and it flows into the Rhône 305 km further on. The Durance Valley has carved out a route going from North balance and also its important cultural heritage on an international level. The Luberon Natural Park is also a member to South, crossing 4 departments and a plateau, all of which are filled with a rich history. It is the true spinal column of of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network. Provence : from the Alps to the “Crau” plain, the Durance runs through the Provence Alps Côte d’Azur region and provides 75% of its water needs. 5 A CERTIFIED ORGANIC PRODUCTION We do not use any chemical product during the cultivation of the olive trees farming we only use organic fertilizers. We 9 HISTORY OF THE OLIVE TREE mow the grass instead of using weed killer. In fact, the grass harbours a a large amount of insects which help us fight against pests and diseases in the olive tree. We mow the grass twice a year and we control weeds on few centimeters with a special tractor which control the waterborne competition of the olive trees by removing a part of weeds. However, we need to conserve a part of this THE YEARLY CYCLE OF OLIVE TREE CULTIVATION vegetation because it has an important number of insects which help us to fight against the enemies of the olive tree. To fight against the olive fly we use neutral clay, kaolinite which forms a natural barrier and prevents the fly from laying its eggs. To have our land and production certified as organic we had to go through a very thorough administrative process which took several years before obtaining the actual certification. Taille Floraison Fécondation Nouaison Grossissement Véraison Maturation Récolte The certification is issued by a recognized certification authority which makes regular checks and takes frequent samples to ensure that the guidelines of organic agriculture are respected.

The spreading of olive trees is linked to the spreading of the Mediterranean climate, There are more than 2000 different varieties of olives in the world. There are about 300 varieties in France; however which started about 10,000 years ago. The first known olive growers were Phoenician and Syrians in 4 000 BC. Little not all of these are suitable for the production of olives. Amongst the most famous ones, we have the Sabine in by little the olive tree spread due to trade in the Middle East in Palestine and Cyprus. Around 3,500 B.C. the olive tree Corsica, the Olivière in the Pyrénééns, the Lucques in the Hérault but it’s in Provence that the most varieties are reached Crete and the Aegean coast: various frescos and earthenware jugs from the beginning of the third millennium grown: B.C. are evidence of intensive trading in olive oil. Olive branches found in Egyptian graves shows, that even in Egypt Aglaudau, Bouteillan, Tanche, Grossane, Petit Ribier, salonenque, Cayon, Picholine, Cayetier... The most famous varieties already in 1,500 B.C. olive trees were cultivated. Due to migration of people, conquests and trade the olive tree spread in the South are the Picholine and the Aglandau, which we can find in the Gard, the Ardèche, the Hérault or the throughout the whole Mediterranean region: Italy, Spain, France, Tunisia, Morocco... Bouches du Rhône. At Bastide du Laval, we grow 80% of Aglandau, 5% of Salonenque, 5% of Bouteillan, 5% of Cayon In Provence the olive tree appeared in its wild form already a long time ago: fossilized leaves, dating from 8,000 B.C. and 5% of Picholine. This diversity of varieties of olives enables us to vary the taste and to create different olive oils. have been found in Roquevaire in France. The olive cultivation was introduced in 6,000 B.C. by the Phoenicians who It also helps us optimize the pollination of our trees. Most of the olive trees are self pollinators but however some founded Massilia (Marseille) and who taught the inhabitants how to grow olive trees. That’s why you can still find olive varieties more so than others. For instance the Aglandau olive which forms the majority of our orchard is tricky to trees today which are between 1,000 and 2,000 years old.

Introduction 1.1. Frame of the chapter Although the tree development directs the olive tree yield we focus here to describe the main phases, stages and key steps from blossoming to harvest. The olive tree produces much more flowers than all other trees, however, fruit set and final harvest are limited by several parameters. Most articles in literature deal with the physiological aspects of the transformation of the olive flower into the drupe. Little attention has been given to genetic involvements that underlay the physiology and the biochemistry. A comprehensive survey of the literature as much as we can is given with genetic commentaries based upon recent genetic progresses made in the field. The olive tree derived from the oleaster and the oleaster belongs to an intertropical (Asian, African) genus and a major difference between northern species (Fraxinus, Syringa, Ligus‐ trum) is the bare axillary buds at the basis of leaves.

  • Olive Oil Production in the Var Region of France, May, 1995
    Olive Oil Production in the Var Region of France, May, 1995 In the south of France there are approximately 60 oil mills and cooperatives processing and retailing local olive oil today. They have a long history and tell the story of when olives were the dominant agricultural crop of the area. The Var region is at the center of what was once a thriving olive oil empire producing thousands of tons of olive oil each year. A devastating freeze in 1956 killed all of the olive trees down to the ground and most farmers replanted with the more profitable wine grapes for which France is so well known. Most of the mills in the region today still use the low technology stone mills and decantation processes their ancestors used. Unfortunately they have trouble finding enough olives nearby to sell much more than just to local residents, who bring their own olives for pressing. Mills that have modern equipment supplement their investment by bringing in olives from Spain and selling olive crafts, soaps, and canned table fruit in stores and restaurants adorned with antique processing equipment. Statistically, France is not a major producer of olive oil, processing an estimated 2,500 to 3,500 tons of olives in 1994. The Var region Chamber of Commerce economic development bulletin lists 11,136 farms in the region with an average size of just under 20 acres each. Vineyards represent 43% of the land and 47% of the earnings, cut flower production occurs on 1% of the land and represents 36% of the earnings.

Olive oils vary in their fatty acid profiles as well as those of other secondary metabolites (phenols, sterols, and terpene compounds). We seek to distinguish the genetic bases from the environmental factors that cause these variations. The genetic base is indeed wide: varieties originate in different domestication occurrences, from different oleaster trees and in differing climatic regimes. With the aid of diagrams, we set out briefly the oil synthesis pathway for fruits in comparison with that of seeds, and the specific aspects of olive oil in particular. Varieties of olive have appeared that are adapted to regions with harsh conditions where the oleaster could not thrive. Environmental stresses have consequences on drupes and their oil profiles; these have been highlighted in European countries through the use of appellations. Whilst stresses tend to enhance the quality of the end product, they do however decrease final yields with potential negative impacts on olive growers’ incomes.

  • Recognition the Changes in Some Physical and Chemical Fruit Properties During Fruit Development Stage of Kalamata and Sebhawy Olive Oil Cultivars
    28 Middle East Journal of Agriculture Research, 2(2): 28-35, 2013 ISSN 2077-4605 Recognition the changes in some physical and chemical fruit properties during fruit development stage of Kalamata and Sebhawy olive oil cultivars. Laila Haggag F., M.F.M. Shahin, E.A.E. Genaidy and Fekria H. Khalil Pomology Dept., National Research Centre, El-Tharir Str., Dokki, Egypt. ABSTRACT This work was carried out through 2011 and 2012 seasons on two olive oil cultivars, namely (Kalamata and Sebhawy). Trees were 10 years old, grown in sandy soil, planted at 5x5 meters apart under drip irrigation system. The investigation aimed to study the changes in some physical and chemical fruit properties in relation to fruit development stage. Results proved that fruit of the three cultivars exhibited a cycle growth pattern: Growth was rapid during the first fruit growth stage (6-10 weeks), slow during the second stage (4-5 weeks). The third stage is again one of rapid growth and coincides with the change in fruit skin color. The increment in fruit size prior to fruit coloration comes mainly from increased moisture content of the fruit. Oil begins to accumulate in the fruit and increases gradually through July, August and reaches the maximum as fruit become completely black. So, it is important for olive trees cultivars Kalamata and Sebhawy grown under Ismailia - Egypt have adequate water needs for about 16 to 19 weeks after fruit set tell just before harvest to obtain high fruit and oil quality. Key words: Olive (Olea europaea), Kalamata, Sebhawy, Shemlaly, growth curve, Introduction The olive is native to the Mediterranean region, tropical and central Asia and various parts of Africa.
