La recogida de la aceituna es una tarea dura, aunque los avances tecnol\u00f3gicos han contribuido a su mejora.<\/p>\n<p>Tradicionalmente se dejaba el fruto hasta que ca\u00eda del \u00e1rbol, y se recog\u00eda del suelo de forma manual. Dependiendo del uso que se le d\u00e9 a la aceituna (para consumo de mesa, para producci\u00f3n de distintas variedades de aceite, etc.), se recoger\u00e1 m\u00e1s temprana, o se dejar\u00e1 madurar. Para su recolecci\u00f3n, existen varios m\u00e9todos:<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRADICIONALES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Recogida del suelo: es el m\u00e9todo de toda la vida. Se espera hasta la ca\u00edda del fruto por maduraci\u00f3n. Es necesario tener la zona que rodea al \u00e1rbol limpia de hierba, para un trabajo m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil, y si la tierra est\u00e1 acondicionada, se pueden usar m\u00e1quinas para pinchar y as\u00ed recoger la aceituna, o barrerla m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido.<\/p>\n<p>-Orde\u00f1o: se recogen las aceitunas directamente con las manos, o usando un &#8220;peine&#8221;. Se utiliza para recoger la aceituna de verdeo, destinada al consumo.<\/p>\n<p>-Vareo: con largas varas se golpea las ramas del olivo hasta que la aceituna cae sobre los \u201cmantones\u201d, lonas extendidas alrededor del \u00e1rbol. Es un m\u00e9todo m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido pero que puede da\u00f1ar al \u00e1rbol, sobre todo a los brotes nuevos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MECANIZADOS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Sacudido, vibrado o garrote: consiste en hacer caer los frutos al suelo sacudiendo las ramas. Tradicionalmente, el sacudido era realizado por braceros que sub\u00edan al \u00e1rbol, bajo el cual se colocaban mantas. Hoy d\u00eda se hace de forma mecanizada: un \u201cbrazo\u201d mec\u00e1nico se acopla a las ramas y las hace vibrar, desprendi\u00e9ndose la aceituna. Este m\u00e9todo es eficaz en olivos j\u00f3venes.<\/p>\n<p>-Peine: como el vareo tradicional, pero usando una vara mec\u00e1nica con dos alas en forma de peine que aletean como mariposas y golpean las aceitunas hasta que caen al suelo.<\/p>\n<p>Como veis, la recogida de aceituna es un productivo \u201cdeporte de invierno\u201d, que nos deja como resultado un producto muy sano: el aceite de oliva.

Olive oil has been, and is still an essential ingredient in the rich Mediterranean diet.<\/p>\n<p>From the middle of autumn up to almost spring, the olive groves are filled with labourers. The harvest of the olive is a hard task, though some technological developments have contributed to its improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, the fruit was left until it fell off the tree, and was picked off the ground by hand. Depending on the use given to the olive (as foodstuff, for the production of different oil varieties, etc), it would be gathered earlier, or left to mature. There are several methods for harvesting:<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRADITIONAL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Harvesting from the soil: it is the most traditional method. The fruit falls when it ripens. Yo need clear the surroundings of the tree trunk of any grass to facilitate the work and, if the land is conditioned, machines can be used to make punctures and that way gather the olives, or sweep them quickly.<\/p>\n<p>-\u201cMilking\u201d: the olives are gathered directly by hand, or using a tool similar to a &#8220;comb&#8221;. This is used to pick the olive of verdeo (green olives), destined to consumption.<\/p>\n<p>-Knocking down: the branches are struck with long rods until the olives falls down on the &#8220;shawls&#8221;, blankets made of canvas and laid under the trees. It is a more rapid method but it can damage the tree, especially the new buds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MECHANIZED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Shaking, vibrating or cudgeling: It consists in making the fruit fall to the soil by shaking the branches. Traditionally, the shaking was performed by labourers who climbed up the trees, under which blankets were placed. Today it is done in a mechanized form: a mechanical &#8220;arm&#8221; is attached to the branches and makes them vibrate, making the olives. This method is effective for young olive trees.<\/p>\n<p>-Combing: similar to the traditional knocking down method, but using a mechanical rod with two wings in the shape of combs that flutter as butterflies and strike the olives until they fall to the soil.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the olive harvest is a productive &#8220;winter sport &#8220;, which provides us with a very healthy product: olive oil. If anyone wants to practise it, you&#8217;re most welcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Con el invierno no solo llega el fr\u00edo, sino la \u00e9poca de recolecci\u00f3n de un fruto que nos proporciona nuestro conocido \u201coro l\u00edquido\u201d: la aceituna. \u00a0El aceite de oliva ha sido, y sigue siendo, pieza fundamental en la rica dieta mediterr\u00e1nea.
