France: The Noble Olive

In this Emmy-nominated series, Georgia Pellegrini invites you to rediscover manual literacy—the joy of learning by doing. Each cinematic episode highlights artisans, growers and innovators preserving craft, culture and sustainable practices. Along the way, she shares approachable skills that inspire viewers to live more resourcefully and connected to the world around them.

France: The Noble Olive

Season 2 Episode 201 | 27m 18s | CC

Georgia travels back to the South of France, where she once cooked at a Michelin restaurant, and spends time in the olive harvest with a family who is carrying on the tradition of making olive oil. We learn about the herbs that are grown by a farmer late in the season to be infused in the olive oil, and how the oil is used by the baker who is baking bread using heirloom wheat.
