Olive Harvest at Villa Lidia: Sweat, Nets, and Liquid Gold

From the Journal of Marleen


When we first picked olives back in 2022, we understood why olive oil is called liquid gold. It's because every drop takes real work.

In 2023, we improved our process and doubled the result. In 2024, we reached a record year with bigger harvest volume and faster teamwork.

2025 reminded us that nature always has the final word. Even then, the joy of harvesting together remained the same.

At Villa Lidia, a bottle of our own olive oil is waiting for you. Taste the sun, the effort, and the Umbrian soil.
