Olive Oil

You can have a good olive oil but you don’t know how? It’s a bit difficult to produce a good olive oil but if you follow the steps it will be easy.

First, between September and December, the olives are harvested by hand or with sticks and rakes. Then 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.

The olive oil has many benefits for the people and these steps guide you to have a good quality of the olive oil.
