Whats the price for standard shipping to the United States? (Florida if it matters). How is this packaged? This is really neat, any way you could put up some pictures of the process or the machine they use to press this?
Hi there, about the price of shipping tbh i will have to check with mailing and stuff but i suppose it won't be of that much, probably 5-10$.
About packaging: one think i can say for sure professional it won't be
. i mean i don't package them in huge qualities
. u can imagine that i will go to my uncle's house, letteraly pure 1 liter (depends on your order) in a bottle, make sure it will be secured and probably have a smily face on a piece of paper with maybe my family waving photo, with the package
.
This is the actual field of the olive from google (apperantly from 2009)

one last think that i should mention is the collecting process is all manual, i even remember when i was kid the adults in the family were strict on us not to use tools cause according to them it give a bitter taste from the leaves and harm the long term "life" of the trees.
hope i answered the way u want
