German Olive Oil: First Harvest Imminent After Four-Year Journey

Gary Weiand, a former surgeon and winegrower from Baden-Württemberg, has achieved an unprecedented feat. Despite initial doubts, his 200- to 300-year-old olive trees have thrived in the German climate. The first harvest of German olive oil is imminent, with a camera team capturing the historic moment.

Weiand's journey began four years ago when he planted around 80 olive trees from Spain in Ihringen at Kaiserstuhl. His perseverance has paid off, as the trees have not only survived but are now ready for their first harvest. The olive grower admitted to having had reservations about his decision, but the success of the trees has proven his doubters wrong.

The cooler German temperatures may present a challenge to the aroma of the olive oil. However, Weiand's achievement is a significant step towards establishing olive oil production beyond the traditional Mediterranean regions. The first harvest will be documented by a camera team, marking a milestone in German agriculture.
