Artifact Overview
H. J. Heinz recognized that specific climates and soil-types were best for each fruit and vegetable, ensuring a better taste for his products. He considered Spain to be the best for olives. Laborers picked the olives and sent them to the nearby Heinz factory (seen here) where they were cleaned, processed, and packaged in clear glass jars for market.
