It happens when our centennial and millennial olive trees are indiscriminately uprooted and sold to agents around the world so they can use them to better decorate the gardens and properties of rich people, companies or institutions.

                Last September, back from holidays, we got some very nice and unexpected surprises. First, because we discovered that the adoption of olive trees may be a wonderful gift for weddings. That is the case of two new recently married couples: Patricia and Oriol, who got married in Barcelona, and Marta and Lyndon, who did so in Singapore. Congrats to the four of them and happy you can celebrate with a good Godall olive oil. By the way, the olive tree is a symbol of long and wise life, and this is exactly what we...
