You step off the road into pale trunks and silver-green leaves; the air carries the faint, peppery scent of pressed fruit and the quiet scrape of a mill at work. Sun moves through the canopy, and the groves seem to watch as the guide leads you between rows of trees that have produced oil for generations.
