Julia wrote to her sister, Denise, who loves the olive oil from Brač:
"This year I was on Brač late enough to pick olives. People picking olives absolutely everywhere! So interesting. In Milna folks still use a traditional press and the olive oil I brought back was picked nearby and made here - in the "Milna" olive photos. (This is the oil I have for you.) This press actually squeezes the oil out and they may do two 'presses' from the same olives. A larger town on the island, Supetar, has a newer commercial centrifuge press. It makes larger quantities for both the commercial market and for locals - and in both places you can walk in anytime they are pressing with your own bottle to buy oil (one photo shows a man filling a bottle for this). The photos attached show both places and my olive picking experience"
