How olive oil is made



To produce olive oil is fairly long and difficult process, so if you follow the steps you could make pure and good oil which everybody likes.

Firstly, the olives are harvested between September and December by hand or with sticks and rakes. Next, they are collected on nets beneath the trees. After that, leaves and small stones are removed and the olives are run through a washer to remove any impurities before crushing. Then, within 24-36 hours of picking, the olives are crushed by granite millstones. The olive paste obtained is layered on mats which are put under pressure from a screw or hydraulic press. The liquid produced is collected and put through a centrifugal separator to separate the water and impurities from the oil. Finally, after centrifugation, the oil is obtained.

To sum up, I would like to say that some people like the quality and some of them like the quantity, so if you like the quality you have to follow these steps and I’m sure that you will be successful.
