Thank you for the reply. Is there a term for the harvest as a dimension? Or that's down to individual producers? Does it even translate, or requires olive region growing context? [A question that perhaps isn't easy if it merges commodity brands and independent producers.]

In general the harvest season depends on the region, and often the farmers wait as much as possible because ripen olives simply contain much more oil. However, less ripen olives produce more green tinted and strong flavored oil so some fancy brands sell "early harvest" olive oil, taken a few months before the regular harvest, as premium varieties.
