Jean-Pierre Brun

The harvest.
Olives: when we talk about olive growing, we naturally tend to focus on the oil, which was the most highly valued and marketed product. And let's not forget that olives were a staple food for peasants and workers alike.
Productivity.
Canned olives.
Oil: seed oils, olive oil, primitive extraction processes, olive milling, percussion milling, stone roller milling, rotary milling, vertical hemispherical mills, vertical cylindrical mills and horizontal mills.
