The Olive Route : A Personal Journey to the Heart of the Mediterranean - Carol Dr
Since Carol Drinkwater moved to an olive farm in France she has developed a passion for the olive tree and the culture that has grown up around it. Its silvery-green branches have inspired painters and poets, but who first pressed its 'bitter berry' and transformed it into liquid gold? From the eastern shores of the shimmering Mediterranean to its western coast this fruit is farmed.
Transporting readers across the olive's ancient paths, celebrating its venerable past, tracking trade routes, unearthing unlikely stories, encountering peoples of today and bygone times, Carol comes full circle, back to her farm in the sun-baked Provencal hills. In quest of its secrets and traditions, Carol embarked on a solo adventure round the Mediterranean basin.
